==Official Spotting Locations==
===Observation Deck===
The entrance to the observation deck of Stuttgart's airport is located on the top floor of Terminal 3. There is a 2,50€ fee for adults, 1€ for teenagers under 16 and 1.50€ for handicapped people.

:'''The opening times are:'''

:April - September: 8:00 - 21:00h
:October - March: 9:00 - 18:00h

Since the observation deck is on top of the terminal buildings it is really long. When aircraft are approaching on '''rwy 07''' you can see them better, since the '''rwy 25''' is on the other end of the airport. However there is a fence. Depending on what kind of lens you use you might be able to navigate in between. If not, photography opportunities won't be that great for you. Also the gates are a little further away compared to the observation deck at [[Frankfurt Main Airport (FRA/EDDF)|FRA]]. Other than that, it is a pretty good place to go spotting.

==Facilities and Transportation==

'''Public Transport'''

The airport can be reached from the city center/main station by suburban train (S-Bahn-lines S2/S3). The journey takes 27 minutes. There are also several bus lines from surrounding villages.

The "REAL" parking lot is close to the bus station "Bernhausen Nord-West-Ring". There is no direct bus line from the Terminal area, therefore you have to change. Journey time is aprox. 15 Minutes. From the city center you need to change from light rail (U5/U6) tu buses in 'Degerloch'.

You can get your best connection at the Electronic Timetable Information by the regional transport authority: [http://www.vvs.de/en/index.php VVS]

The spot "Hill 25" is also reached via this bus spot, but it needs a bit of walking to the east.

==Official Spotting Locations==

FRA has two observation decks, both are now closed

===Terminal 1, Concourse B Observation Deck===
The open observation deck is in Terminal 1, Concourse B. The fee to get on the observation deck is 3€ for adults and 2€ for teenagers up to 15 years of age, students, and handicapped people. It is free of charge for those under 6 years of age.

:'''The opening times are:'''

:November - February: 10:00 - 18:30h
:March - October: 8:00 - 20:30h

'''This observation deck will also be closed 28.12.2005.'''

From the observation deck you can see the '''25L/R''' approach pretty well, better than '''07L/R'''. You are standing very close to the gates, so you will get good photo opportunities for planes that are being pushed back and for the ones that are pulling up to the gate. Here are just a couple of examples of photos taken from the deck.

</gallery>

===Terminal 2, Concourse E Observation Deck===
The observation deck is in Terminal 2, Concourse E right next to McDonald's.

This observation deck is now reported as reopened (see Airports of the World, September-October 2007 issue). It is open between 10:00 and 17:00 daily with an entrance charge of €2.50. Visitors must pass through a security check and no sharp or dangerous objects can be carried.

===Viewing Platform next to rwy 18 and approach 07===
Right next to '''rwy 18''' (south departure) there is a concrete platform for viewing purposes. However there is a fence between you and the runway, and you will need a small ladder to shoot over it. An A321 will need 100mm right in front of you.
From here you can also see the '''07L/R''' approach. For an A321 on 07R you need around 180mm, for an A330 around 110mm. For 07L approach you need around 240mm for a 747...

There is a road right next to the airport called "Airportring". Take that from the Terminal towards the west, which is where '''rwy 18''' is located. The road will make a left turn and shortly after another left turn. Right in the middle of that second left turn there is a parking lot on the right where you can park. From there you can walk to the platform. It is just a 2-3 minute walk from there.

'''Getting there by bus/train'''
Take bus 5514 from Terminal 1. It runs usually every 30 minutes. Get off the bus at "Tor 31", you have to walk back from this bus stop to runway 18W (point 3) but be prepared for a 20-30-minute walk. Another possibility to get to 18W is to exit bus 5514 at "Tor 26" and passing the threshold of 07L and 07R. This takes also about 20-30 Minutes.
Try [http://www.rmv.de www.rmv.de] for timetables.

==Other Spotting Locations==
===25L/R approach===
If the winds are in favor of the '''25L/R''' being used, which is the case most of the times, there is one spot in particular where you can take really good photos of the approaching aircraft. Especially on the weekends you will run into quite a few fellow spotters there. Since this spot brings you pretty close to the action you won't be needing a lot of focal length to get good results. 200mm will be enough to cover the aircraft coming in on '''25L'''. However, since you will be standing closer to '''25L''' the right approach will still be kind of far, so to ensure that you can get all the pictures you want you might actually need a 400mm lens. Just a few examples to show the different motives at this spot.

</gallery>

To get to this location from the airport you will have to get on the Autobahn A5 towards Basel. Get off at the first exit called "Zeppelinheim". After getting off the Autobahn you just drive straight for about 400m and then take a left. There will be a sign for a Recreational Area. Just follow that. That will lead you into a forest and there will be a small parking lot. Park there, since that will be as close as you can get with your car. From there it is a 5 minute walk towards the airport. You will cross the A5 on a bridge and then you're there. Just pick a spot and have fun!

'''Getting there by bus/train'''
From the airport you have to go to Sportfeld with S8 or S9 first and change there for Zeppelinheim on line S7. From Zeppelinheim Station take the exit to the west. The road through the forest will lead directly to the spot.
An easy alternative is to take bus OF-64 which runs usually every 30 minutes from Terminal 1 (when in you are in Terminal 2 get on the bus at "Hugo-Eckener-Ring" - a bus station at the big road in front of T2). Bus no. OF-51 runs every 60 minutes from Terminal 2. In both cases you have to exit at the stop Luftbrückendenkmal (US-Air-Base) and walk back a few meters along the airport fence.
From the Main Station just take S7 to Zeppelinheim.

===07L/R Approach===
Should the situation of a '''07L/R''' approach occur, you have two choices. You can either go to the platform next to '''rwy 18''' as I described already, or there is a small parking lot on either side of the road on the way to the platform, where you can park and then spot. You will be right in between of the left and the right approach. No matter which choice you like better, the approaching planes can't be seen until they're almost right in front of you, so you won't know long in advance what's coming in.

Just take the "Airportring" as described in how to get to the viewing platform next to '''rwy 18''', but park in the lots shortly after the first left turn.

'''Getting there by bus/train'''
Take bus 5514 from Terminal 1. It runs usually every 30 minutes. Get off the bus at "Tor 31", you have to walk back from this bus stop to runway 18W (point 3) but be prepared for a 20-30-minute walk. Another possibility to get to 18W is to exit bus 5514 at "Tor 26" and passing the threshold of 07L and 07R. This takes also about 20-30 Minutes.
