de Barnes Lane/Clock Lane, Bickenhill, that give an excellent view of the South end of Runway 33
There is also an on-site "Viewing Area" in Car Park 5 that is right next to the Runway and the Taxiway the Emirates Airbus A380 will use to depart |

| Beware - while this is the closest view you can get of an Airbus A380 anywhere in the UK on-airport parking is expensive - it costs £4.70 an hour in this Car Park NOTE - the Runway in use will be determined by the wind direction - if the wind is from the North/West then Runway 33 will be use - from the South/East then Runway 15 will be used |
