==Official Spotting Locations==

STL no longer has any "official" spotting locations. In the past, there have been viewing areas located at the end of the 12s and the 30s. As of September 2010 the gravel lot which used to be at the eastern end of the 30s is now behind a fence.

===Planespotting Policy===
The following is paraphrased from a phone call which occurred on Friday, September 3, 2010 between a SpottersWiki contributer JLJ4774 and Jeff Lea, Public Information Manager for Lambert-St. Louis airport:

:Mr. Lea confirmed that STL airport does not have an official policy or stance toward non-media photography or "planespotting". The airport does not encourage or advocate planespotting, nor do they offer any offer any suggestions or tips. Mr. Lea pointed out that the airport and roads surrounding it fall within the jurisdiction of various municipalities as well as airport police. In addition, STL airport has provided no guidance to airport police with regard to the treatment of spotters.

:Official documentation for the media can be found in the STL [http://www.lambert-stlouis.com/flystl/media-newsroom/media-guide/ Media Guide].

Plane spotting at Lambert usually brings unwanted attention by the airport police, which have been known to force deletion of all images taken on or around airport property. It is illegal to force photographers to delete their photos but be aware that law enforcement can take anyone they want to jail without justification. If upon arrival they can't find valid charges you will be released. If approached by a badge, use common sense remain calm and explain yourself.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===12R Lot===
There is a gravel/dirt lot close to the apporach end not far from the approach end of runway 12R. This location was once an official area, but after construction began on the new runway, it became unofficial.

===Airport Hourly Parking Garage===
When aircraft are departing from runway 30L, the airports hourly parking garage offers decent views of the aircraft climbing out.

===McDonnell Blvd. / Runways 30L/30R===
When aircraft are landing on the 30s, great views are offered when they cross over McDonnell Blvd. The road circles around the approach ends of the 30s and then parallels runway 30R.

===Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel===
While an unlikely spotting location, appropriate rooms at this hotel allow for all day planespotting in luxury. Upper-level rooms on the northwest side of this hotel offer a commanding view of the eastern end of the airport. According to the hotel staff, special requests for these rooms are quite common. Be sure to make arrangements in advance unless you hold some form of Marriott elite status. As a gold member I was able to get the second best positioned room on a Thursday evening with no special arrangements, room 1044. 1046 is the northwestern most room with the very best view it is a double queen room. The 11th floor the houses the concierge lounge and the 12th the penthouse(s). 944 and 946 are ok as well being the third and fourth best rooms for spotting, respectively.

Planes taxiing, arriving, and departing on the 30s can be easily captured with a 70-300 although a slightly longer lens will come in handy. Anything less than a 70-300, say a lens with an upper reach of 200mm will likely not have enough reach for arrivals and departures on the 30s but will still reach taxiways. Friendly reminder: Be sure to bring a sturdy tripod, IS/VR lenses, or both.

==Locations to Avoid==

Since the destruction of STL's official viewing area, there aren't any locations that are recognized by the airport police. Lingering at a location will likely catch their attention and may lead to an unpleasant encounter.

==Regular Traffic==
Unfortunately STL is not what it once was. Traffic consists mainly of a variety of regional jets and turbo-props. However, there are still a number of mainline flights that fly into STL. The two largest mainline airlines in STL are American Airlines and Southwest Airlines. When spotting at STL, aircraft that can be seen include Boeing 727,737,757, Airbus A319,A320, McDonnell Douglas MD-80,MD-11,DC-8, BAe 146, Canadair CRJ-200,CRJ-700,CRJ-900, Embraer ERJ-140,ERJ-145, British Aerospace J-31,J32, ATR-72, ATR-42.

In addition to commercial traffic, Boeing has there defense headquarters located at the airport. Brand new F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jets are regularly seen multiple times a week taking off, landing, and performing touch-and-go's on the airports runways. The production plant is located to the left side of the airport behind the original McDonnell plant. However, any close photography of the facility brings attention to both airport and Boeing security.

==Facilities and Transportation==
Getting to and from STL is relatively easy. The airport is served by the St. Louis metro system, including bus and rail services.

STL has a number of long term parking lots, most of which offer very competitive rates. While a few of the lots are located approximately one mile from the airport, they normally have bus service that runs every 10 minutes.

Allegiant air is the dominant airline at SGF. As of September 2010 they only fly MD-80 series twin-jets which are the largest planes that regularly fly to SGF. Allegiant recently acquired six 757s which will enter service later in 2010 servicing routes to Hawaii. It is not yet known which airports in Allegiant's network will include this new service, and, as a result see the 757s.

United Express, American Eagle, Delta Connection and NWA Airlink fly a variety of small Embraer and Canadair regional jets into SGF. The combined volume of all other carriers is far less than that of Allegiant.

Allegiant air is the dominant airline at SGF. As of September 2010 they only fly MD-80 series twin-jets which are the largest planes that regularly fly to SGF. Allegiant recently acquired six 757s which will enter service later in 2010 servicing routes to Hawaii. It is not yet known which airports in Allegiant's network will include this new service, and, as a result see the 757s.

United Express, American Eagle, Delta Connection and NWA Airlink fly a variety of small regional jets into SGF but their combined volume is far less than that of Allegiant.

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Location===
None exist.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Terminals===
Spotting from the KCI terminals is generally poor and various security folks are not keen on cameras. As with any other airport, the degree of enforcement is sporadic at best. Some days photographers are asked to put their cameras away as soon as they get them out, other days you can shoot for hours with no interruption.

===Economy Parking===
Perhaps the best spotting areas are at the far south side of economy parking lots A and B. Here you are less than 200 feet from the northern end of 19L. On a day with wind from the south you can catch planes flying low directly overhead. Spotters have been known to catch planes taxiing to the northern end for a southbound departure. The only problem here is that 19L is the lesser used of the two primary runways. Economy parking is free for the first 30 minutes, after that it's $4 for a partial day. Security patrols very often, if they see you acting suspicious you will be asked to leave. At KCI it's best not to be seen.

===Corn Fields===
A secondary location is only good on days when planes are landing on 1L from the south or 9 from the west (rare), there is a small gravel lot at the corner of 104th street and NW Hampton road to the south west of the airport. This spot is far off the beaten path, it's miles out of the way regardless of where you are coming from. Bear in mind that KCI owns most of the farmland surrounding the airport, including this area. Just because you are outside of the perimeter fence does not mean you aren't on airport property. I've never been asked to leave this location, likely because it is so remote.

==Locations to Avoid==

===High-traffic side roads===
There are no known decent spotting locations for arrivals on 1R. Spotting on runways 19R and 27 is easy, however, there are no parking spots and local police will arrive within minutes of a car parking on the shoulder of I29 or an access road.

===Short-term parking===
Spotters may be tempted to park in the short term parking called the "circle lots". Photography from these lots will quickly attract unwanted attention. Recent "enhancements" to the perimeter fences have made it nearly impossible to get quality shots of taxiing planes anyway.

==Regular Traffic==

===Airlines===
Southwest has by far the biggest presence with Republic/Frontier/Midwest coming in second.

Because KCI is relatively small expect the regional counterparts of Delta, United, Continental, Air Canada and US Airways. AirTran and Great Lakes serve KCI as well. Great lakes is somewhat unique in that they generally serve extremely small airports. KCI and Denver are the two largest airports they serve. Great Lakes primarily operates Beechcraft 1900D turboprops.

===Common planes===
KCI is dominated by Boeing 737s, Airbus 319s, McDonnell Douglas twin-jets and various Embraer and Canadair regional jets.

A secondary location is only good on days when planes are landing on 1L from the south or 9 from the west (rare), there is a small gravel lot at the corner of 104th street and NW Hampton road. This spot is very far off the beaten path, it's miles out of the way regardless of where you are coming from. Bear in mind that KCI owns most of the farmland surrounding the airport, including this area. Just because you are outside of the perimeter fence does not mean you aren't on airport property. I've never been asked to leave this location, likely because it is so remote.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Location===
There are no known decent spotting locations for arrivals on 1R. Spotting on runways 19R and 27 is easy, however, there are no parking spots and local police will arrive within minutes of a car parking on the shoulder of I29 or an access road.

Spotters may be tempted to park in the short term parking called the "circle lots". Photography from these lots will quickly attract unwanted attention. Recent "enhancements" to the perimeter fences have made it nearly impossible to get quality shots of taxiing planes anyway.

==Regular Traffic==
Southwest has by far the biggest presence with Republic/Frontier/Midwest coming in second.

Because KCI is relatively small expect the regional counterparts of Delta, United, Continental, Air Canada and US air. AirTran and a Great Lakes serve KCI as well.

KCI is dominated by Boeing 737s, Airbus 319s, McDonnell Douglass twin-jets and various Embraer and Canadair regional jets.

Spotting from the KCI terminals is generally poor and various security folks are not keen on cameras. As with any other airport, the degree of enforcement is sporadic at best. Some days photographers are asked to put their cameras away as soon as they get them out, other days you can shoot for hours with no interruption.

Perhaps the best spotting areas are at the far south side of economy parking lots A and B. Here you are less than 200 feet from the northern end of 19L. On a day with wind from the south you can catch planes flying low directly overhead. Spotters have been known to catch planes taxiing to the northern end for a southbound departure.
