Observation Decks Around the World
This list outlines many airports around the world with observation areas, many of them in the open air, offering easy access from the terminal building. (www.foxnews.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
In addition to the observation deck, GRR also has an excellent spotting park at the south side of the airfield.
I'm surprised with as many times as they tout the tourism there, they never thought about Las Vegas.
KLAS has one parallel to the 25s, on Sunset Road. They feed ATC directly there and broadcast it over FM radio. Great place to observe and listen to ATC, both during the day and night. New year's eve and July 4th, that lot is PACKED, as it is also a great place to watch the fireworks shot off from the roofs of the casinos. So imagine seeing that, along with arrivals coming in, plus listening to ATC. Better yet, imagine being on that flight that shoots the visual approach to 19L or 19R, and are greeted with fireworks!
The other place is KVGT. They have a park tucked between the thresholds of 12R and 7, off the intersection of Decatur, Cheyenne, and Lake Mead Blvd. ATC is piped into there as well. Calm wind runways there are 12L, 12R, and 7, so you get really up close and personal with the arrivals.
I haven't found better spotting areas in the CONUS, especially with features like those.

The last time I was in Milwaukee I found an observation area not at the terminal, but at the north end of the airport. right by the approach end of 19R.
YES I LIVE IN ATLANTA!!!
I am going to the deck next time I fly.

Perth Int'l has two observation decks. One is outdoors and is parallel to the main Runway 21/03 and provides excellent photo opportunities. The other is indoor, with air-con. It also provides good views of of the main runway and domestic terminal. Also good for photo opportunities. If you have spare time in Perth, I recommend both of these decks, but especially the outdoors one.
Anchorage Int'l has an excellent observation deck right past security. It's on the second floor and there are ample signs telling you how to get there. An added bonus is the excellent native artwork displayed. If you have some time to kill, seek it out because there is WiFi, plenty of outlets, and best of all, it's QUIET!
