The viewing area is fab, if a little chilly at this time of year! I finally got round to visiting it a month or so back.

To get there it's outside, on the main floor level, approx 20m from the stairwell that serves the BA Lounge and Starbucks.

Ticket machines, just like car parking ones, sell tickets at €3 a visit.

Once you have the ticket enter through the door next to the ticket machines, hop through the bag x-ray and metal detector and you have access to the whole roof space above the doughnut shaped A terminal.

You can get pretty close to the action. I have lots of videos from my visit but just one (not very good!) picture. Here it is to give an idea of how close it is.
