| Line 17: | Line 17: | ||
There is no jetways in Ponta Delgada so you end up walking between the aircraft and terminal both upon arrival and departure, so that gives you some good views, naturally ([http://www.airliners.net/photo/SATA-International/Airbus-A310-304/2551811 sample photo 5]). Also, from inside the terminal at departures you get a decent view of the apron ([http://www.planes.cz/cs/photo/1185641/a310-304-cs-tgv-sata-international-rzo-s4-ponta-delgada-pdl-lppd sample photo 6]). | There is no jetways in Ponta Delgada so you end up walking between the aircraft and terminal both upon arrival and departure, so that gives you some good views, naturally ([http://www.airliners.net/photo/SATA-International/Airbus-A310-304/2551811 sample photo 5]).

This is probably the best spot at PDL. At the western side of the airport in the village of Relva there is a football field (which I have never seen used) located at the oneway Travessa do Beco street (or "Tv. do beco"). There is a small free public parking lot right next to it. To get to the spot, you need to walk through the gate from the parking lot to the football field, walk straight for about 200 meters pass the field and a tennis court. You get to a fence directly at the western end of the airport at an elevated spot with excellent views of the apron and the runway. | This is probably the best spot at PDL.
