"The Flying Grillbar" - a small grillbar located near the threshold of runway 22R (just west of the perimeter fence). There is a small (unpaved) platform from which you can see some of runway 22R and the adjacent taxiway A. When runway 22R is used for departures, you will see departures accelerating past. When 04L is used for landings, arriving planes will taxi by on taxiway A.

When 04L is used for landings, arriving planes will taxi by on taxiway A. Terrain to one side and tall trees and bushes to the other makes it a far from than ideal place for photography - combined with the fact that the sun will be directly against you most of the day, this is not the place to go if you want great photos. | ||
Many parents bring their children to Flyvergrillen to grab a burger and look at the planes. It is a fine - although pricey - place for lunch, but the serious photographer will want to go somewhere else. | Many parents bring their children to Flyvergrillen to grab a burger and look at the planes.

It is possible to take a bus (line 35) from the airport to Flyvergrillen.

For photographers, a 55-200mm lens will do for take-offs on 22R / landings on 04L and a 300-400mm to catch aircraft taxying from landings on 12 and 22L / 04R. | For photographers, a 55-200mm lens will do for take-offs on 22R / landings on 04L and a 300-400mm to catch aircraft taxying from landings on 12 and 22L / 04R. | ||

The end of Pier B (walk toward gate B16) or Pier A (walk toward gate A12) provides a view of taxiing aircraft, however it faces south so the sun is a problem. Note that this area is beyond security, so only accessible for passengers. | The end of Pier B (walk toward gate B16) or Pier A (walk toward gate A12) provides a view of taxiing aircraft, however it faces south so the sun is a problem.
