Spotting at the Gold Coast Airport

With Hong Kong Airlines returning to the Gold Coast tomorrow for the first since Covid, my wife and I came down to the Gold Coast for the weekend. We are staying at the Rydge's at the airport.

We have been here before and they have a rooftop bar/restaurant which have amazing, uninterrupted views of the taxiways and runways. Sadly, the bar / restaurant is now closed permanently and entry to the viewing deck is off limits.

Frustratingly, our only photo option is to take photos from the room through double glazed glass, so I do apologise.
