Official Spotting Locations
Terminal
Inside the small terminal there is a cafe where you have pretty good view of the runways. Unfortunately the Ryanair flight parks too far left for a good view. You can also stand right outside the cafe for a good view through a fence.
Unofficial Spotting Locations
End of Runway 19
If you drive or walk from the terminal towards the threshold of runway 19, keep going 100 meters after passing the runway. There is a small road leading up on your left.
This will take you to the approach lights and a great view of the runway and terminal. You can be aligned with the runway under the approach lights and get good shots.
Locations to Avoid
End of Runway 19
This spot is excellent, but security can chase you off here as you are only within 5-10 meters from the active runway. But you can get away woth it, and get GREAT shots!
