==Official Spotting Locations==
==Official Spotting Locations==
Vienna has no official spotting locations.
On the top of Terminal 3 is a large spotting platform, which is operated by the airport itself. To get there you have to buy a ticket (about 4 euros) and pass a security check.
From there you can spot the traffic of both runways and the majority of the airside area.
The entry is in Terminal 3.

The Spots are marked either in the Satelite Photo or in the Map with the corresponding numbers. In the Satelite Photo the places where you can leave your car are marked with black dots, because on all the roads around the airport driving is forbidden.

Follow the road signs towards "Wien". But make sure not to use the motorway A4 (Look out for road signs pointing towards the city of "Schwechat"). At the airport exit (Which is a "T" shaped crossing) make a left and follow the street. At the second traffic light turn left and park your car there. Then walk towards the runway. Shortly before you reach the airport fence make a left and follow the path which ends at the fence around the Austrian Airlines Maintenence Area. There you can take photos of the aircraft entering or leaving the area or being parked in front of the hangars. Be aware that the fence has very small holes. The sun is in your back in the afternoon.
