===Emil Buehler AMS Center===
Embry-Riddle's Daytona campus is home to the only "official" spotting location in Daytona. The recently completed Emil Buehler maintenance building includes a second and third floor open patio which overlooks the airport. The building is open to Embry-Riddle students and registered visitors to the campus. The deck directly overlooks Embry-Riddle's private ramp, as well as the approach to Runway 25R. Be aware that the building is often locked on nights and weekends.

===Cell Phone Lot and Observation Area===
The cell phone lot doubles as an observation area with plenty of parking. It is located on Midway Avenue just south of the main entrance. It has trash cans and benches and it overlooks the main runway and has good views of the taxiway and the terminal. The gate is a little high and getting good photos is hard for planes on the ground. But for planes taking off west and planes landing east it is easier to get photos. Keep in mind that going up to the fence is prohibited and there are security cameras, airport security has stopped people who approach the fence.

===Midway Avenue Dirt Lot===
A parking area exists between Midway Avenue and the Daytona Speedway just west of the airport's terminal. This area has recently been branded as the airport's cell phone waiting lot.  As with all locations around Daytona, there is no easy way to photograph over the fence, but shooting through the fence can yield good photographs of aircraft taxiing on Taxiway November, especially in the late afternoon.

===Bellevue Avenue Bridge===
There is a bridge that goes over Interstate 95 that has a sidewalk. Park in the Volusia Top Gun parking lot, make sure to park in the back so that actual customers have parking. Walk towards the bridge and there are great views of planes landing on runway 7L. Cops didn’t seem to mind photos being taken.

The airport is connected to the VOTRAN bus network, but service is sporadic and limited.  Outside of the Embry-Riddle campus, a car is necessary for any spotting.
