Confirmed, it is Manila. Sorry, I just woke up

Like I said, better things to do in PRG/VIE on a Saturday evening ;-). Good choice.

Next picture. Believe it or not, but this is an airline lounge. So we move on from one of the worst to the best one I ever experienced.

Oh boy this is Turkish Airlines business class now at ISL. I literally spent days there.

If I really won, does the picture need to be from AF/KL destination?

Yep it is old Istanbul airport. If I am right, it may also be a codeshare AF/KL - that enlarges the pool significantly (like I did with USM). You can take over from here! I usually fly AF/KL but at that point Turkish was so much cheaper I took them to Japan - and since it was in the good old days that A3 gave you gold for life once you had it could use this lounge.

As per the thread starter/post number one:

Lets begin 2020 with a new topic 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

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

Here are the rules and they really are very simple:
1.Take an obscure photo of a KL location / destination you are currently in (or have visited recently). KL codeshare locations are permitted too

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 list in this post
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.

1st: Solevita (post #6)
(EZE Buenos Aires). Photo#1 (post 3).

2nd: Arjen05 (post #17)
(ICN Seoul). Photo#2 (post 17).

3th: TLspace (post #25)
(HUY Humberside). Photo#3 (post 20).

4th: Arjen05 (post #34)
(NWI Norwich). Photo#4 (post 29).


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 KL logo into the photo without giving the game away.
  1. Multiple guesses are allowed.
  2. Please try and keep it to one live photo at a time.
Guess the only thing we need is an update of the thread title to 2022 and some new photos...

Okay guys, so here is KLM codeshare destination. I guess this will be difficult.

That was just a guess - it could have been one of many airports with a runway right by the ocean...

Anyway, made it difficult for myself and have to find another photo. Bear with me.

...my bet would be Singapore. Taking off from 20C, new terminal or so under construction left, overlooking military runway 20L/02R

Just to clarify some of the rules;
- can there be only 1 picture at a time which people can guess?
- does the one who guesses right post the new picture, or can anyone?

Asking for a friend

Person who got the previous one right gets to post a new pic, or several photos of one and the same airport.

It follows that at any given time there's only one picture (or several pictures of the same location) in play.

If nobody succeeds in giving the correct answer, then I suppose anybody can post a new one, on a first come, first serve basis.

Happy to let someone else join with some pictures, as a number of us almost seem to have exhausted our supplies. r0gerthat, please feel free to take my next turn (I will keep guessing so I may get another one right).
