From the balcony on level 3 in the terminal there is a limited overview of the western part of the apron and the runway. The balcony is accessible via an elevator located in the opposite side of the terminal when entering level 1 in the terminal via the western entrance. Please note, the balcony is no longer accessible (May 2015) | From the balcony on level 3 in the terminal there is a limited overview of the western part of the apron and the runway.

It is possible to stand just outside the fence on the hill next to the main road to the airport from the east (primary route 28) (location A on the map below). There is a good overview of the runway because of the runway slope. It is generally not a good idea to park at the side of the road, however, getting to the location by foot requires an approximately 4 km. walk from the terminal area. The wind is usually western, so runway 27 is in use most days. | It is possible to stand just outside the fence on the hill next to the main road to the airport from the east (primary route 28) (location A on the map below).

It is also possible to continue west a bit further to get a better view of planes taking off from runway 09 and planes on final approach. Simply follow the road west from the terminal, keeping to the left (location B on the map below).

A number of bus routes go to the airport. Busses 143 and 43 route from Vejle on the east coast of Jutland to the airport. Bus 43 stops at less locations than 143, making the trip shorter and faster. Vejle is connected to the rest of Denmark by train, and if going to the airport from fx. Copenhagen, it would be most logical to take the train to Vejle, and then bus (1)43 to the airport. Airport busses between Billund airport and Aarhus city depart almost every hour during the day. | A number of bus routes go to the airport.
