10 Airports With Scenic Attractions

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

 

The Panorama Terrace, recently closed for a limited period of time for a renovation project, is usually open to all visitors after they check in. It’s located between Departures 1 and 2. The terrace is popular with plane spotters and travelers alike because of expansive views of aircraft parked in Schiphol’s C, D and E piers, along with city views.

 

There’s a KLM Fokker 100 on display, and visitors can enjoy a meal and the views when they eat at either Touchdown, a buffet-style restaurant, or Dakota's Cafe and Bar.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

 

Austin’s hometown airport is home to the South Terminal, designed to house ultra-low-cost carriers including Allegiant Air and Sun Country Airlines. After clearing security, passengers can sit in a hip, outdoor patio area and catch some sun before take-off. The area has tables and chairs, a pet relief area, and access to food trucks that have become iconic staples in the Texas state capitol. There’s also Wi-Fi access and charging stations for electronic devices.

 

And, Delta Sky Club members can now enjoy pre-flight cocktails from a full-service bar on a sprawling outdoor patio decorated with local Texas art at the new 9,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club located on the mezzanine level of the airport's Barbara Jordan Terminal.
