Plane Spotting at Airports – Rare and Common Views

As an airplane enthusiast, I enjoy my travels even more with sights of plane spotting. Of rare airlines, aircraft types. And of commonly encountered ones with a twist. Have a look.

The biggest airliner in the world – the A380

Singapore Airlines plane boarding at Frankfurt with 3 aerobridges.

A similar view from the 2nd aerobridge boarding into economy, looking up at the 3rd boarding business.

A view from the window at a Lufthansa A380 coming towards you.

A kaleidoscope at night in JFK from the Virgin lounge

A regular sight at Changi airport Singapore

My favourite plane, the Boeing 747

The newest version, the 747-8 at Frankfurt

Another view. This is of a 747-400

A last rare view of this, in the Lufthansa lounge at Heathrow
