9K-AOJ arriving at Heathrow!
I spotted 9K-AOJ, a Kuwait Airways Boeing 777-300ER, landing at Heathrow.

It was really cool seeing my return aircraft arrive while I was plane spotting, knowing that I’d be flying on it later that day.

Final thoughts
Overall, this was an amazing Kuwait Airways journey. From the early morning departure on KU103, to arriving at Heathrow, plane spotting at LHR, seeing 9K-AOJ arrive, and then actually flying that same aircraft back home on KU102 — it made the trip even more special.
Thanks for taking the time to look through my journey! ![]()
