General
Düsseldorf is one of the busiest airports in Germany. It has a large variety of scheduled European airline traffic and lots of charters during the Summer months. Together with Eurowings and Lufthansa, all German charter airlines fly here and it is a hub of Air-Berlin (that took over former resident LTU). Also, a large variety of Turkish airlines are operating into Düsseldorf during the entire year.
Layout
The airport has two major aircraft viewing facilities, one at the main terminal and one at the railway station. You have to pay a small fee to gain access. Don't worry: once you have paid you have access all day, for both terraces. For opening times see below.
Getting There
Düsseldorf is easily accessible by car and public transport. It is clearly signposted from all major motorways passing by, and you can get there by train via the S-bahn station in the main terminal (connects to Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof) or via the Flughafen bahnhof which has its own check-in facility and a free connecting bus or elevated shuttle train to the main terminal. You can use this (free) shuttle for your own transportation between the two viewing decks at this airport.
Around the Airport

The railway station spectators' terrace (spot 2) on the eastern edge of the airport is one of the best vantage points at Düsseldorf. (Arnoud Raeven)
