15 Secret Airport Perks That Even Frequent Flyers Don’t Know About

15. Hidden Viewing Decks for Unbelievable Airport Views

If you love watching planes take off and land, some airports have secret observation decks that most travelers overlook. These are not just small windows in waiting areas—they’re full-scale viewing platforms with lounge seating, food vendors, and sometimes even binoculars for aviation enthusiasts. Airports like Tokyo Haneda, Munich, and Los Angeles (LAX) have dedicated terraces where travelers can soak in panoramic runway views. The best part? These decks are usually quiet, tucked away from the busy crowds, and make for a relaxing escape before your next flight.
