Plane Spotting

A hobby now easier than ever thanks to flight tracking apps, plane spotting gets you outside and even helps airport security. Just remember to take warm clothes, refreshments, a fold up chair and possibly a step ladder for looking over tall fences.

Pros:

  • Free
  • Easy, due to numerous flight tracking websites & apps
  • It can take up as much or as little time as you want
  • Many airports support the hobby – plane spotters can provide information about security or safety threats e.g. birds

Cons:

  • Not the most fashionable hobby
  • You need to live near an airport
  • You may get arrested
  • Usually no food, drink or toilet facilities
