During Winter (October 27th to March 29th) the deck is closed from Monday to Friday but on the weekend it is open from 10AM to 4PM. At other times of year the terrace is open daily from 8AM to 8PM. It may be closed when the weather is poor. The entrance fee is 2€.

	The observation deck offers good views of the runways and taxiways SM/PM as well of some stands. Excellent departure shots from all runways are also possible. Lighting is generally good because the runways are located to the north of the observation deck, but backlighting may occur in summer in the late afternoon. Heat haze can also be problematic when you are trying to photograph more distant aircraft.		The observation deck offers good views of the runways and taxiways SM/PM as well of some stands.
