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 FRA. Other than that, it is a pretty good place to go spotting.
