Guide to Dusseldorf Airport
The airport offers two official viewing areas at either side of the main runways but no spots of major significance besides that. Both official areas are on the same (airport) side of the runways and so both are better suitable for morning photography meaning afternoons can be very difficult.

Spot D - 5L Approach Spot
If you drive and you come from Kreuz Meerbusch, the junction of A57 & A44, then take the exit Dusseldorf Stockum.
Then at the traffic lights turn left. That's the Niederrheinstrasse. If you follow this road, you will eventually see an store of Aldi-Sud at your left hand side (Open daily from 08.00-20.00). Here you can park your car.
The store lies directly under the approach path of 05L. So a nice spot according to me.
If you come from the opposite direction, that means from the airport, take the same exit, Dusseldorf Stockum, but then turn right at the 2nd junction, otherwise you will drive the wrong way.

Spot E - Flughafenstrasse
Close to the spot mentioned above except when you drive on the Niederrheinstrasse, turn right at the 1st junction. This junction lies directly after you've passed Air Hotel Wartburg.
This is the Flughafenstrasse. This is a dead-end street. Park your car at the end of the street, near the S-bahn stop. You will see a bridge which is used only by cyclists and pedestrians. Walk upon the bridge until you see a road beneath you. From here you can see traffic arriving when 05L & 05R are in use or see traffic departing when 23L & 23R are in use.
