A Day At The Airport

Today my nephew Thomas and I went to ZRH Airport, just for fun. It was a beautiful day, not too hot and not too sunny, just perfect. There is a new observation deck on top of Terminal B and I have not been there yet. It's always worth going to the observation deck on Terminal E where the long haul flights dock. Highlight of the day was the departure of the Singapore Airlines A380 which is simply impressive. Another highlight was the bustour we took around the airport, including a (photo) stop at the crossings of two runways. Edible highlight of the day were the sandwiches from Confiserie Steiner that are just yummie.

Multimedia binoculars (called Airportscopes) have been developed specially for the new Observation Deck B.
They provide background information on fixed and mobile POI's at ZRH Airport.
