some pics and reviews.

Great photos Monster.
I’m also visiting Dublin (next Monday). Would appreciate the chance to get some good video footage, I know for sure I will at Manchester, but Dublin is new territory for me.

I’m planning on visiting Ireland next year,does anyone know if there’s any spotting areas at the Dublin Airport?

That might explain things, but in the state of confusion, I think I left the pax area into the checkin area. Oh well, next time I fly through there, I’ll make sure I make an appearance. Just out of curiosity, is the same area where that old partial DC-8 fuselage is/was? Also, what are the hours of operation? Also, Monster, I just read your flight review. It’s realy 12.5 hours from Perth to Singapore, wow! I had no idea it was such a long flight. It was only 7 hours from Sydney to Singapore, even less than that on the return.

you have to leave the restricted area, its in the public area.
all LH flights use T1.

I’ve never actually checked in, or out in FRA. I’ve always just been there on layover. I’m guessing since I was flying LH both times, I was in terminal 1? I recall asking somebody where the observation deck was, and them giving me directions, but still not able to find it. I was there towards the evening, so perhaps it was closed? I know UA’s lounge was about to close as I got there.

GD. when you go to frankfurt airport, you should go to the checkin area of terminal 1, where star alliance checks in, near there is a set of escelators that go up another level, take them and follow the signs, there is a enthusiasts shop also.

costs 3 euro to enter and you are very close to the action. this one is for the comapny i work for and for lovers of this a/c.

Nice QF pics, as far as El Al goes, those Isralis do almost the same thing at LAX, they have Airport PD follow them to the end of the runway, plus someone sits in a car behind the plane on the ramp with binoculars looking around, plus they carry a machine gun, not to mention but they wand all of the bagroom workers even after they’ve gome through security, I used to work at LAX in the Bradley bagroom loading up BA and seeing this.

Great pics Monster. Is that the exact name of it, “Terminal 1 veiwing mall?” Last August I flew through via FRA, from ATH-AMS, and I missed my connection so I had SEVERAL hours to kill. I was looking for the ‘viewing deck’ but never managed to find it. FRA can get a little confusing at times, has anybody else felt the same way?

Yeah real great quality!!!!!! 🙂

Great!!!!! pics 4,5,6,7 are my faves… the Ethopian one is a rather unusual sight these days, well done Monster on spotting it! 🙂

The sunset shots are beautiful too… lovely. 🙂

yea some excellent shots there – cheers!!

Great photos Monster, so nice to see forum members posting their own photos.

sorry i didnt get the whole fuselage, i just didnt have the time.
but here it is.

like the colours in this one.

Very nice monster,

I particularly like the Varig MD-11 you’ve captured, a simple but classy colour scheme I think.

up close and personal.

going to the remote bay. note the aer lingus jet is being followed by emergency vehicles, not sure what happend.
