Official Spotting Locations
Terminal
You can see the planes from the terminal but it is no good for photography.
Other Spotting Locations
The main and busy area is just after the runway bridge, by the bench (SE 21993 41546). Other places include
The Trig point near Cold Habour Farm, (SE 22133 40711) or the slightly higher but more popular view station, again a trig point at SE 21998 39856.
I am unsure of the runway allocation at LBA, there is a footpath running around the airport quite close to the final strip of the south-east runway. Some good shots from here.
