===Terminal 1 Viewing Mall=== | ===Terminal 1 Viewing Mall=== | ||
This area is the only public place within the airport terminals where you can have a clear view of aircraft movements in air-conditioned comfort. It provides a clear view of the central apron, as well as movements along the three North Cross taxiways. Aircraft parked at the remote bays off the terminal, the cargo terminal and at SIAEC hangars are also visible from a distance, although the many obstacles make a full, unblocked view of the aircraft there impossible. From a distance, 20R and 20C approaches, 02L and 02C departures and 20R lineups for departure are visible. | |||
The most common airlines using central apron gates are AirAsia and Jetstar, although a variety of airlines use these gates on a regular basis as well. It is advisable to check the gates of the flights online at the airport website (information is usually online up to three to 12 hours before) as on some days there are very few flights using the central apron whilst on other days it can be full house there. | The most common airlines using central apron gates are AirAsia and Jetstar, although a variety of airlines use these gates on a regular basis as well.

'''Lens''': Any lens will probably net you some decent shots. | '''Lens''': Any lens will probably net you some decent shots. Photographing aircraft at the closest gate will take up to 24mm on a full-frame sensor, while movements on the North Cross would require about 180mm for a 777 to 270mm for a 737 or smaller. Photography of aircraft is best when the aircraft are located inside the central apron or on North Cross 3, as North Cross 1 and 2 are often shrouded in heat haze from nearby aircraft. | ||

There are big glass panels spanning the height of the terminal here for the entire length of the central apron. You can also see gate F31, the first gate to be A380-ready, and its three jetways from here. The gate right next to the glass sees only A320 and B737s, but even then their wingtips come close to the glass. This place is very well lit at night, especially the colourful shop signs, so do watch out for reflections. There is also a very useful ledge (which is actually the glass panel frame) which can be used for a tripod at night, or a support to stabilise your shots in the day, and is wide enough to accomodate a DSLR and certain lenses. Movements on the T2 central apron, as well as on 20C/02C can be seen from here. Do note that the glass is tinted green, and it can affect your pictures, so watch your colours closely. Spotting is best done in the afternoon. | There are big glass panels spanning the height of the terminal here for the entire length of the central apron.

Like Terminal 2, large glass panels span the height of the terminal. Down here you can see 20R/02L movements, as well as planes parked at the gates in front of the glass. The A380 parks at the A-gates in front of the glass every day. Do note that the glass is tinted green, and it can affect your pictures, so watch your colours closely. Spotting is best done in the morning. | Like Terminal 2, large glass panels span the height of the terminal.

===Changi Coast Road=== | ===Changi Coast Road=== | ||
Changi Coast Road runs parallel to the eastern perimeter of Changi Airport as well as the main departures runway 20C/02C. However, there are two layers of perimeter fencing preventing a clear view of the airport. Photography along the fence line is not permitted and you will be quickly moved on by airport police. It is also not advisable to park along the Changi Coast Road as you will be obstructing fast-flowing traffic. It is highly recommended that you do not spot or photograph from this location. | |||
===South Cross=== | ===South Cross=== | ||
Toward the south of the airport there is a pedestrian bridge over Airport Boulevard that runs parallel to the two South Cross taxiways. Since June 2016 photography on the South Cross pedestrian bridge is not permitted and clear No Photography signs have been posted on the bridge. You are advised not to use this location for spotting or photography. Loitering on the bridge should also be avoided. | |||
