Zurich Kloten Intl. Airport – Spotting Guide

August 23, 2014 - last modified on February 4, 2026

Zurich International Airport (ZRH / LSZH) is located 13 km north of Zurich City and is one of the spotter friendliest airports worldwide, with many official viewing areas and even two visitor terraces. The center of Zurich (train station Zurich HB) is easily accessible from the airport station. Count between 9 and 13 minutes depending on whether you take a train or the S-Bahn. The rest of Switzerland is well connected by trains, for example, ZRH-GVA takes 3 hours and ZRH-BRN 1 hour and half. It serves as a hub to Swiss International Air Lines, Helvetic and Edelweiss. Since the acquisition of Swiss by Lufthansa, it is the third largest hub of the latter. In 2019 ZRH greeted over 31mio. passengers with at lest of 275k flight movements.

The airport has three airside piers, which are known as terminals A, B and E (also signposted as Gates A, B/C and E). A central air-side building called Airside Center, built in 2003, is directly linked to terminals A and B, which take the form of finger piers. ZRH has three runways: 16/34 of 3,700 m (12,100 ft) in length, 14/32 of 3,300 m (10,800 ft) in length, and 10/28 of 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in length. For most of the day and in most conditions, runway 14 is used for landings and runways 16 and 28 are used for takeoffs, although different patterns are used early morning and in the evenings.

If you are interested in an apron bus tour, which even stops at the intersection of the runways, please visit the official website.

Car Park P3 - RWY 34 + heavy 16 departures + Whiskey apron partly + stands in front

WHERE From inside the airport, you’ll find elevators to the Car Park P3 in the rearmost corner of the food court, near the train station. Follow the signs to the uppermost floor.
Its a little bit tricky to shoot from here because there is a mesh (to prevent birds to fly into the garage) but there are some holes. As of January 2024, the airport has installed zippers in the mesh for the spotters! A sign says that you should close the zippers when you leave.
If you stay on the penultimate floor there is no mesh.
WHAT Runway 34 Arrivals and departures, taxiing, parked and maintenanced aircraft – so basically a very nice overview of the surrounding area/the southern part of ZRH airfield. In addition even heavy 16 departures are very nice here.
TIME Due to the sun´s position the light is okay between spring and autumn only and then also just from sunrise till late morning/early noon.
MISC. Lots of shops, restaurants and toilets are available inside the Terminal. Heat haze is a problem here as well as the poles in front of the mesh.
Don´t cut holes into the mesh!
FOCAL LENGTH 50mm – 400mm
B777 arrival 34 with mountains = 300mm / B764 side shot = 150mm / A333 on taxiway = 115mm / A333 on whiskey stands (other site of the runway) = 350mm

Car Park P6 - RWY 28

WHERE By walk, exit terminal 1 to the east (possible on both, arrival or departure level) and proceed straight ahead to the Parking Garage P6. Enter the large parking garage you and get to the 10th or 11th floor by car or elevator. The difference is as follow:
A: 11th floor. This is the rooftop of the garage and you have a wonderful sight of the northern part of the airport. What you cannot see as the sight is blocked by a building is the line up/threshold for 28 so go to B instead.
B: 10th floor: Taking pictures is a bit tricky as you have to shot trough some metal rods, which are wide enough. So go to the eastern corner to photograph the line-up of 28.
WHAT Arriving and departing from rwy28 and the taxiway to 28. 10 departures as well but those are rare.
TIME In winter the spot is good for the whole day. In the summer month there can be a lot of heat haze during midday.

Summer lineup on  28: 10:30 –  sunset

Bimenzältenstrasse - 28 Line-Ups + GA/Rega apron

WHERE This spot is no exact position, rather the area all along the fence next to “Bimenzältenstrasse” east of runway 14/28. Can be reached from the south via Schaffhauserst/B4. Turn into the road after/before the LIDL supermarket and drive to the paid parking P1 which is directly at this location. Do not park at the nearby LIDL car park (surveillance cameras, limitation to 1 hour).

UPDATE JAN 2025: this spot is only of limited use due to the construction work.

WHAT Line-Ups onto runway 28 as well as the nearby Business aprons such as the Rega one or bizzer parkings.
TIME In the early morning only, but can also be nice on fall/spring evenings for mood shots.
MISC. Ladder recommended, but not absolutely needed as you can also shoot thru the mesh. But a ladder is useful in order to avoid high grass in the picture. Heat haze is a big problem in summer!
Don’t take pictures obviously when bizzer are being boarded by VIPs and co!
FOCAL LENGTH 24-400mm
Bizzer parked next to the fence ~24mm / CS300 Line-Up = 220mm

Hey guys, I’d love to take some beautiful photos from Spot 16, ideally when it’s already warm but the mountains are still covered in snow, with green grass all around. When would be the best time to go: late March, mid-April, or early May?

If the normal runway configuration is in use (Landing on 14 and Takeoff on 28/16), Observation Deck B should be perfect for watching some A343 takeoffs. From the terrace, you can see the entire takeoff rolls and the climb out of the heavies during the main heavy rush, roughly from 12:00 to 15:00 LT.

However, it could also be (Landing 28 and Takeoff 32/34), in which case P6 would be the best spot.

Hello Andy, there is a peak arrival period in the morning from 6-7AM, in this period runway 34 will be used for arrival which makes P3 a very nice place to shoot these flights (for example, LX283 from JNB, LX87 from YUL). And also for departures, spot 11A is an ideal place for shooting LX188 to Shanghai.

#2 Observation Deck for security cleared passengers use the lift next to E55 gate. You can walk around three sides up there N,S,W and to the right of the trees you can just see the start of takeoffs on Runway 32.

Hi, yes the runway configuration is almost the same every day. Wind seems to be constant similar 🙂
Of course there could be changes!

I went spotting at ZRH in early summer and found that spot 8 was not only good for 14 touchdowns but also for 32 departures. As mentioned in the guide, runway 32 is usually used for departures between 6:00 and 7:00 in the period of the year when the sun rises early enough, you can get some really nice pictures here. Could be handy to add to the spot. I was stood near the northern spot of 8, and did need a pretty high ladder and quite high focal length if you wanted them on point of rotation. I think if you went further down the path you wouldn’t be able to get them on rotation due to trees blocking the way, but don’t quite remember that. I can also provide sample images.

The opening time for the observation deck at terminal B is incorrect, as it opens at 10:00 even in summertime. Check the website for correct opening times

Hi, unfortunately there hasn’t been a toilet or food or drink at spot 11 for a while. The spotter’s hill also had to be removed. This is due to the construction site in the West zone of the new stands. There are still parking spaces, but they are somewhat limited and the maximum parking time has been capped at 8 hours. At spot 11 you can therefore only take photos through the fence.

Hi Tim, the information regarding admission prices is not correct. I was there the day before yesterday. The prices are still the old ones (see also: https://www.flughafen-zuerich.ch/de/passagiere/erleben/erlebnisse/zuschauerterrassen), i.e. CHF 5 for an adult. Happy spotting.
