Official Spotting Locations
Viewing deck
There is an official viewing deck atop the administrative building to the east of terminal A.
Entrance fee is 2 € as of JUL-2012. Access is through one automated turnstile 24/7; money changer is available.
It is either an elevator ride up or 140 steps to climb. This gives an estimation on how high you will be above the ground.
Primary view is onto the civil apron, but in fact the whole field (both runways and the extensive cargo area) can be overlooked from there; however any aircraft parked on the cargo apron will be too distant for photography.
A flight information monitor is provided, detailling even the aircraft type and the runway an aircraft will use for departure and landing, but it is limited to passenger and General Aviation movements. Cargo movements are not listed, as are (US-)military charters stopping at LEJ for fuel & supply of food. On the other hand, movements of German Airforce are listed.
On the negative side: There is no shelter from the elements at all on the viewing deck !
Leaving the area is via another turnstile, but you need to press a button before the turnstile will move.
