oh yeah, i forgot... it's a bureaucracy not a private enterprise. apols ! :-)
They grasped this concept in Zurich very well apparantly. On top of the terminal there is a large viewing area looking over all the airside activities that can be accessed for something as little as €2. There are organised ramp visits and visits to the intersection of the runways for photos
There are even holes cut in the perimeter fence at convenient locations for photographers to use. But is any of this mentality seen at Cork ??
I was a little disappointed to see that there was a lack of something as simple as proper toilet facilities. The main toilets are tiny, even smaller than the old terminal. Now the old terminal was designed to hold 1million and the new 5million. This doesn't seem to add up!
