Copenhagen Kastrup Airport: Difference between revisions

Near the 22R threshold. A superb little burger bar that serves beer! You're higher than the taxiway in front of you so shooting anything that passes should be easy. It's nearly back lit all day but on long summer days it is excellent from around four a clock and until sunset.  It takes around 30 minutes to walk from the terminal area, go past the domestic terminal (Terminal 1) and when you reach Gate Gourmet, turn left and it just straight ahead. Opens at 10.30 and closes around ten in the evening (during the summer anyway). There's plenty of free parking too, and if you use the viewing area you should buy something from the bar, but be warned - Danish prices are high (Kr38 for a cheese burger, Kr20 for a small coffee).  

The long road you turn left onto is Amager Landevej.  Bus number 73 goes along here.  Take this in the direction of Dragør and get off at the end of the road just as the bus sharp right onto Tømmerupvej.

Located on Kystvejen/Coastal Road. Catch them as they come in over the sea. A short walk from the terminal, taking you past SAS Technical Services hangars and a view over their apron. Takes about 15 minutes.

Located on Englandsvej.  To get here follow directions to Flyvergrillen (as described above) - instead of going to the dead of the road end, where Flyvergrillen is located, follow the round as it turns right. Continue on this road until you reach the junction - turn right and you will see the runway across the road (which is in a tunnel). If you go under and through the tunnel some very nice shots can obtained. In the late afternoon go back to the other side of the tunnel.

===Runway 30 approach===

Located on Kystvejen/Coastal Road. Catch them as they come in over the sea. Follow directions to RWY22L approach point and then continue another 2 kilometers, past the cargo facilities and the old SAS Commuter hangar. Takes at least thirty minutes and since this runway usually only is used in high winds make sure to bring warm clothes. There is no shelter anywhere near, and there is nowhere to park a car.

Located on Amager Landevej just next to the Gate Gourmet facility west of the airport terminals. See directions for Flyvergrillen as well as this spot is on the way there. As with Runway 30 this runway is only used in high winds. This location is in urban area and as such there are shelter from the wind several places (bus-stops, petrol station etc.).

Located on Tømmerupvej. This location is the typical approach shot-location. It is located quite a distance from the airport terminal and in nice and quite country-side settings. To get here follow directions to Flyvergrillen (as described above) - instead of going to the dead of the road end, where Flyvergrillen is located, follow the round as it turns right. Continue on this road until you come across the approach lights. It is about 4 kilometers from Flyvergrillen.
