Is there anywhere to view the aeroplanes at Perth Airport?
Just wondering.
I don't think there is an actual viewing area within the terminals is there?
You see the planes coming in quite low over the Swan Valley but it would be nice to take the children to watch (as they love them!)
Cheers all.

Just wondering if it would be better to view them at Jandcot (unsure of spelling but the domestic airport)

Careful everyone. It's bad enough being acused of Godzoners let alone plane spotters. 
Whatever next, trainspotters?

It's a slippery slope. Now where is that notebook and timetable?

Will do.

Whatever floats your boat I suppose
