===Runway 30 approach====
Located on Kystvejen/Coastal Road. Catch them as they come in over the sea. Follow directions to RWY22L approach point and then continue another 2 kilometers, past the cargo facilities and the old SAS Commuter hangar. Takes at least thirty minutes and since this runway usually only is used in high winds make sure to bring warm clothes. There are no shelter anywhere near either.
===Runway 12 Approach===
Located on Amager Landevej just next to the Gate Gourmet facility west of the airport terminals. See directions for Flyvergrillen as well as this spot is on the way there. As with Runway 30 this runway is only used in high winds. This location is in urban area and as such there are shelter from the wind several places (bus-stops, petrolstation etc.).
===Runway 04L Approach===
Located on Tømmerupvej. This location is the typical approach shot-location. It is located quite a distance from the airport terminal and in nice and quite country-side settings. To get here follow directions to Flyvergrillen (as described above) - instead of goind to the dead of the road end, where Flyvergrillen is located, follow the round as it turns right. Continue on this road untill you come across the approach lights. It is about 4 kilometers from Flyvergrillen.

Official Spotting Locations

Flyvergrillen

Near the 22R threshold. A superb little burger bar that serves beer! You're higher than the taxiway in front of you so shooting anything that passes is easy. It's nearly all the time backlit though. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the terminal, go past the domestic terminal and when you reach Gate Gourmet, turn left and it just straight ahead. Opens at 10.30.
