Answer 4

Yes you can watch the planes from the Skyline Restaurant & Bar which overlooks the runways but you will see from the schedule at the first link below that there may not be much activity.   You could take a trip to the town of Charlestown which is about three or four miles away.  A shuttle-bus service runs between Knock Airport and Charlestown about five times a day,  you can check the timetable to see if the times would suit your own schedule at the second site below.

Charlestown at the third site.

Answer 5

Go to the shrine. Other than that theres nothing, the place is in the middle of nowhere.

Answer 6

I believe there is a holy shrine nearby.

Answer 7

If you feel the need to pray go to Shrine in Knock as there aint much else around

Answer 8

Bring a book or get a newspaper.

Answer 9

Knock airport is very small with only one terminal there are about a dozen or so scheduled flights a day.

There is quite a nice view of the surrounding countryside if it is clear and not raining as the airport is situated quite high up.  Really though it is in the middle of nowhere and the only walking I am aware of is along the roads.

The village of Knock with the shrine is about twelve and a half miles from the airport.  There are buses, taxis and car hire but you would need to be sure you could get back in time for your ongoing flight.

I recon your best bet would be to take a good book.

Answer 10

No, there's only a cafe upstairs and a bar downstairs, so eat, drink and be merry!!

Although there's not much to do, I love Knock airport because it is small and easy to get through (no crowds etc!)
