For a bit of a thrill if you are waiting for a plane, a popular activity is to walk out of the airport (after checking in) and continue along the road, until you reach the part of the road that is perpendicular to the end of the runway. Stand here on the road and wait for your plane (or another jumbo jet) to come in. The huge plane comes in so low, it literally almost clips the fence you are standing right next to. Anyone who manages to withstand the urge to duck gets a prize (or their head chopped off!).
