Best Spotting at Brussels and Amsterdam

Post by FedEx »

I'm about to make my first spotting trip over the Belgium and holland, i plan to visit both Brussels and Amsterdam airports, can anyone advise me (with directions if possible i'll have a car) as to the best areas for viewing and photos at either or both of these airports please.

Any other airports in these country's worth a visit?

For me, spot 3, or the arrivals on the 02 before noon is the best place. There you are very close to the action.
But this runway is only in use when the wind is North - North East.
