Hi CJ,

Is there anywhere landside in the terminal with views of the taxiways or aprons please?

Dear Barry,

Did you check the airfield guide elsewhere on this site?
http://www.scramble.nl/airfield-guide/bogota-el-dorado
Spot 1 is what you asked for I guess.

@CJ > is that still accurate?

best regards,
Erwin

Thanks Erwin,

I did read that report but it is quite old and wondered if there have been any
changes that affect the views, has anyone been recently?

Regards,
Barry

I was there last weekend. Scramble airfield guide Spot 4 is a great spot. On Sunday we were here from 08.00 till 13.00 and noted around 30+ military active aircraft!
Spotting landside (outside) in the terminal is difficult. Airside (inside, past customs) is great, with good very clear windows and good views on the military apron. Book a cheap VivaColombia ticket (20 Euro) and stay in the terminal....

Hi,

Did you see spot 1 on the 2nd floor near McDonalds, that is the one I am
interested to see if it is still possible to view from there please?

Regards,
Barry

the spot inside McDs is good as you are hidden from general passers by, just make sure you buy something from them. The windows can be a little dirty but photos are passable and possible.

underneath McDs in the wider general area you're more likely to be spotted by the police who will tell you to stop taking photos and to go somewhere else.
