-RE: Spectator viewing
Leeds/Bradford Airport has a cafe which has windows facing the runways. You get a good view of aircraft on them. Unfortunately, the cafe is too far North to be able to get a good view of aircraft parked on the Apron whilst unloading etc. Around the airport perimeter however, there is a much better situation. At the end of Runway 32/start of RWY 14 there is a car park for approximately 15 cars. It is always crowded, as it provides a good view of aircraft departing on RWY 32 and also aircraft turning round at the end of the runway ready for departure on RWY 14. There is also a hill to the West of the airport which has parking facilities and provides a good view of the whole airport. Shame LBA isn't as busy as Manchester!!!

Newcastle had a very good one until the terminal was expanded. Now the one they have got is ok, but not nearly as good as the old one.
Manchester has a very good one, as does Heathrow.
Does Prestwick still have its spectator terrace??

As one who finds the viewing areas at some airports somewhat poor. Can all of you out there do an online survey and send in your views and opinions of your experiences of the facilities at the airports you have been to not just in this country but around the world. Lets see if we can praise the good airports and shame the "not so good". Let see if we can get them to realise that there are lots of us out here, who if given somewhere half decent are willing to pay a little bit to use these places. They might even find they make a bit of money out of us.
To start thing off with my good votes go to Birmingham (UK), Manchester for keeping somewhere through all the rebuilding going on and airside at Geneve for the view across the runway.
