13th Floor of the multi-storey car park - Terminal 1 - Views of Runway 1 where you can view aircraft landing and taking off, also close views of aircraft parking and moving from Terminals 1 & 2 plus a good view of the Cargo area. Level 13 now being used by the Car Rental Companies. ~~But~~ there ~~isn~~'t any facilities here any more. Toilets are situated in the Terminal 1 arrivals area, just get the lift down from Level 12. There were some thoughtfully provided camera holes in the security fences, however these have now been filled in. Although it is still extremely easy to take photographs from here, you may occasionally encounter difficulties, especially when using wide-angle lenses.

Next to the final approach to Runway 23R, the beer garden of this pub offer great views of landing aircraft and also aircraft holding for departure. This spot is especially interesting during the 12PM - 3PM curfew of Runway 2(23L/06R). Because the public house and it's beer garden have become so popular with spotters, the pub has a pay-and-display car park. It's essential to pay-and-display if you don't wanted to be fined £60.

=== Cheadle Royal John Lewis and Sainsbury's Car Park ===

A bit further out, but it offers good views of inbound traffic on the 23 Runways. Parking is restricted to a couple of hours but there's a good cafe attached to John Lewis and obviously Sainsbury's sells food and drink so you won't starve or go thirsty. It's signposted from the M56, and presumably from other, local roads.
