Official Spotting Locations

International Terminal Deck

The deck is located on the right hand side of the top level past the coffee shops. Best time to take photo's is the afternoon. The viewing deck looks over the approach of runway 01.

Fellowship Place

This is the Official viewing area at Brisbane Airport and it is just excellent for both photos and viewing. Formerly referred to as the Acacia Street Loop Road, this location was renovated in 2026 with an elevated viewing platform and the tail of a retired Fokker F.28 Fellowship.

If RWY19 is in use, you can photograph the planes in the air just as they are about to touch down and/or when they are actually touching down and have just landed. For a 19 departure, the planes taxi past you and turn off the taxi way and onto the runway and make their take off roll right past you and rotate quite a fair way in the distance. RWY 01 landings are not so good from as they touch down a long way from you and taxi off the runway and onto the taxiways at a reasonable distance. RWY01 Departures are just brilliant. They commence their take off rolls down the far end of the runway and take off and fly past you.

Fellowship Place is brilliant to visit any time of the day but as you are facing the east, the morning sun is right in your face and can cause backlit photos. For a digital SLR user, it's recommended to use a lens/lenses that are from 80mm to 300mm. 01 Departures, 19 arrivals/take off rolls require min 200mm. A taxi to 19 pic only requires 90 - 125mm. It is recommended that any spotter who wishes to visit Brisbane Airport spends a good part of a day here as you'll get just so much enjoyment and fun out of it.

Fellowship Place is open from sunrise to sunset.

Here are some sample photos:

A RWY 19 Arrival

A RWY 19 Taxi

A RWY 19 Take off/landing Roll

A RWY 01 Departure
