Albuquerque International Sunport: Difference between revisions

There is a very nice observation lounge in the terminal, located above the food court. Stairs are located on either side of the food court. However, it is past the security checkpoint so it is accessible only if you are traveling. There are several comfortable chairs, couches, and tables, and there are very nice floor to ceiling windows that provide a view of the ramp and runways.

A gravel lot near the threshold of runway 03.  This runway is used less than 08/26 so movements here can be slow.  However, when winds cause traffic to reverse, many departures will use runway 21 to avoid the longer taxi to runway 26, though heavier aircraft will still use the longer runway 26.  Because of the distance from the runway and the fence, photographing arrivals is difficult and few departures use this runway.  The cargo facilities are close and offer a few opportunities for photos.  All movements on this runway can be logged however.
