A rapid taxi and parked at the terminal.




Disembarking and a short walk to the arrival hall of the small terminal.








No queues at the arrival immigration for foreigners and we were through immigration and customs in a couple of minutes. Bliss of arriving at small airports! Last shot of the aircraft after clearing immigration.




It was a great flight on Firefly. Service was excellent by the cheerful crew members, complimentary refreshments were more than adequate for the short flight, and aircraft, though rather noisy, was well-maintained and comfortable. However, with competition heaing up in the turboprop market due to entry of Malindo, I guess it will not be long before we see Firefly cutting on the frills.

Only a maximum of 4 international flights a day to Ipoh, all from Singapore. There are also daily domestic flights to Johor Bahru.




It was only a 10min cab ride from the airport to Ipoh Town, where we would be staying at Weil Hotel, a 4-stars hotel which is supposedly the best in Ipoh Town. Rooms are big and cozy, and location is very convenient to the famous eateries and sights in town.




Sights of Ipoh old town and the street art.
