Hello guys!

I'm going to Florida (TPA & RSW), Bonaire and St. Kitts/Basseterre in December/January and I would like to know if there are some good spotting points.

I will use a lens with a focal length of 55-400.

Thank you for your help!!

In Tampa, go to the top floor of the parking garage. Just drive all the way up. It's over the terminal and you can get good shots of the runways on both sides.

I always park up there when I have to pick up/drop off people and it's a good place to get some pics...

Thanks a lot!:)

I've been at BON a few years ago, but only as a stopover on an SXM-AMS flight. We had to disembark for refueling, but I never left the terminal building.

Back then, we landed from the east, on runway 28. There is a perimeter road, if you have a car you should be able to just stop there and take photos from the road side.

Same for the western side of the airport, there's a road there as well. The terminal itself is pretty useless for spotting.

Keep in mind that there is very little traffic at BON, no more than 10-12 movements per day, and that already includes the local puddle jumper services to CUR. So make sure you only go out there when the KL A333 or the Thomson Dreamliner are due.
