While I haven't been up yet, looking at the new maps for the terminal it would appear that one of the more unique features of Cork Airport has been lost - that is the ability of the general public to view the runway from the terminal.
In the current terminal this is possible from the large coffee-type area on the first floor and the bar - in the terminal which preceeded this it was possible to view from the bar.
Now it would appear that all airside viewing is to be restricted to those at the departure gates ..... please tell me this isn't true
