Where in the world am I? | 2019 edition
 
Lets begin 2019 with a brand new season of "Where in the world am I?"

Inspired and originated by highlander100 back in 2015, the aim here is to truly weed out the travel geeks among us and shower them in all their glory :D:D:D

The winner will be awarded annually and bestowed with the true knowledge that they are a true Flyertalk BA geek.

Here are the rules and they really are very simple:
  1. Take an obscure photo of a BA location you are currently in (or have visited recently)
  2. Post on this thread and add a clue (if you feel it’s required)
    The goal is then to be the first person to correctly guess the location.
  3. The OP confirms who has the first correct guess
  4. The OP updates the win to the Wiki
    If the winner has not won before, their name is entered and the post date/time they won is added below. If the winner has won before, the date and time of the post they won is added below their name.
    USER NAME
    Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
    Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
    Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
    etc. etc
  5. To try and keep it further within the remit of the forum, I think double points should be awarded in the event that the OP can get a BA logo into the photo without giving the game away.
  6. Multiple guesses are allowed, but must be turn about with other members and at least 10 mins apart
  7. Please try and keep it to one live photo at a time.

I'll start 2019 off with this....

PETER01 Jan 3, 2019 11:11 am

Looks like a 789 so I'd say KUL?

HIDDY Jan 3, 2019 11:19 am

Could it be SCL?

Sigwx Jan 3, 2019 11:21 am

It is a 747 so I will throw IAD into the mix,

B o o m ! Well done Sigwx and in less than 12 mins ^

PETER01 Jan 3, 2019 11:27 am

Looks like I need to swot up on my aircraft types :o:D

Leeski Jan 3, 2019 11:48 am

787s have much more oval windows :)

CPH-Flyer Jan 3, 2019 12:10 pm

I'll have a go for a lounge and/or airport location

Akoz Jan 4, 2019 3:18 am

Is it SGN?

beardedgeologist Jan 4, 2019 3:33 am

CGK ?

It is indeed, La Saigonaise lounge.

jfallesen Jan 4, 2019 9:25 am

How about this one?

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c57ffb6bc5.jpg

I suspect a certain someone may get this straight away but would be nice if others got the chance too. ;-)

It is generally too easy.... :)

The hangars in the background, the shape of the tower. It is indeed CPH. Wonder if it is taken from Flyvergrillen, though I have never been there, so not sure of the exact angle.

I posted a pic a while back with the same buildings.

It is CPH.

You are right – and you are the person I was thinking of. :-)

The location is indeed the famous Flyvergrillen.

Another very easy one for most: extra kudos if you can name the airport AND pinpoint my location when I took the photo...

mrow Jan 4, 2019 3:01 pm

HKG? But no clue of location, other than in the airport :D

JAXBA Jan 4, 2019 3:14 pm

Gate N64?

Edit: HKG airport website lists it just as gate '64' - Google Maps refers to 'N64'

Prospero Jan 4, 2019 3:22 pm

The Pier F lounge. Beautiful photo JustTheOne

I've got a few almost identical photos sitting in what appears to be the same seat!

Indeed....nice to see the sun out. The times I've been in Hong Kong it's always been overcast!!

Correct on both counts, a hat tip to you both!!

YYCCL3 Jan 5, 2019 3:01 pm

I hope this isn't too easy....

mrow Jan 5, 2019 3:08 pm

Something makes me want to say LHR T4 but I am second guessing myself. Anyway, I will go with LHR and standby for embarrassment when I have got it wrong :)

florens Jan 5, 2019 3:08 pm

Maybe CDG?

BA6501 Jan 5, 2019 3:31 pm

Definitely looks like CDG to me - perhaps from the Sheraton or thereabouts?

YYCCL3 Jan 5, 2019 4:35 pm

Ding ding ding!

Although florens got it first, you got the location narrowed down even further :)

Grrr the red and white coloured lighting poles were persuading me it wasn’t LHR but I went for it anyway as I got EDI correct in the 2018 thread after a substantial amount of time had passed without anyone correctly guessing EDI. I thought it was a little too obvious as being EDI so couldn’t be so!

Am suitably embarrassed it wasn’t LHR :D

ginger50 Jan 9, 2019 6:21 am

How about this one then? I have carefully deleted my travel from BA97 to prevent cheating!

HIDDY Jan 9, 2019 9:02 am

PSA? Just because it looks as if it's leaning. :p
Ghastly looking structure wherever it is.

YYCCL3 Jan 9, 2019 11:35 am

This isn't a real guess, but something that hideous would make me think FNJ ...

xPositor Jan 9, 2019 12:35 pm

Relaxing under the lounge lights. But where?

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f97f431c23.jpg

LCSinTexas Jan 9, 2019 2:04 pm

We're still working on the picture in post 29, right?

DFW?

vibrex Jan 9, 2019 4:50 pm

Dubai?
post 32

Please wait with posting until the previous post has been confirmed to have been guessed.

xPositor Jan 10, 2019 12:42 am

Apologies - didn't know the rules of the game!

And yes, @Jibrex (in post 34), the lounge at Dubai (in post 32).

ginger50 Jan 10, 2019 1:36 am

Not PSA
Not FNJ
Not DFW
Not Dubai

A BA destination but the BA tail fin was not there when I took the photo.

A bit more.... and I straightened it up a bit for HIDDY

We have a winner... a whisker under 20 hours. Yes those ugly towers are never forgotten once seen!

I'll update the WIKI
