Entry is via a security check at ground level outside the terminal building adjacent to the domestic check in area. The viewing deck occupies the roof of the terminal building and faces south west and is therefore best for photography in the mornings.

{{jplink|559069}}

However due to the opening hours night photography with a tripod is possible during the darker months of the year. Due to security reasons going through the security with a tripod may be a problem. Officialy tripods are not allowed on the observation deck.

{{jplink|558837}}

There is no shelter on the roof except for a small area adjacent to the stairs and toilets and there are no outlets selling food and drinks. As re-entry will involve another security check and paying again it is best to obtain supplies from the shops in the terminal building before going up.
