How airport suggestions are chosen

Suggestions come from the site’s passenger-airport dataset within 1,200 km of the location. Ranking adds a distance penalty for crossing a national border and a smaller penalty for regional airports. The first airport is therefore a practical suggestion, not always the geographically closest airport. Destination pages list up to three choices.

Check the journey beyond the airport

Distances are straight-line kilometres. Check the actual road or ferry route, entry requirements, border arrangements and transport at your arrival time. A short line across water or a border can hide a much longer journey. Read current official travel advice for every country involved.

The interactive map’s flight search lets you choose a departure airport and travel dates before opening the provider. Flight schedules, fares and availability are checked there. Pair this with accommodation and ground-travel planning and a separate check of your final viewing site.

Calculated astronomy uses NASA / Fred Espenak Besselian elements, a sea-level WGS84 observer and a smooth lunar limb. Historical weather is regional context, not a forecast. Airport routes, site access, travel advice and accommodation availability require current checks. Read the Sources & method.
