Spotting a great hotel bargain at Heathrow before you fly is fairly easy these days with the Internet. However, what about spotting planes themselves?

The executive lounge also used by plane spotters.

Well you can combine the two things as there seems to be one hotel that stands heads and shoulders above the others at the airport.

Renaissance Hotel Has Great Views

It is the Renaissance Hotel on Bath Road. And, according to plane spotting experts offer the best views of the airport and its associated aircraft movements and operations. Something, that spotters enjoy so much.

There is even a special website dedicated to pointing plane spotters in the right direction.  Where are the best places to stay in order to be able to watch and record the comings and goings at Heathrow.

They also suggests to ask for a room on the third floor overlooking the airport.  As from most of those rooms you will have great views of the runway designated by its code 27R/09L plus many of the taxiways.

Some spotters like to picture the planes, others record on video whilst some like to record aircraft numbers.  Some even like to monitor the radio traffic that all forms part to the airport’s operations and planes come into land or are taking off.

With Heathrow one of the busiest in the world you can watch planes taking off or landing virtually one every minute.  I recommend  that you bring a camera.  Along with a huge memory card or a giant note book.  Because you will be busy from dawn to dusk and even later!
