On top of the parking garage is a great place to spot. Views of both parallel runways are available from on top of the garage. The price is $2 per half hour or $18 per day. On the north side of the garage, you can view most if not all passenger aircraft. On the south side you can clearly view the FedEx ramp and their aircraft. Currently runway 5R/23L is closed for long-term construction and will be closed until further notice. Also, construction for parking garage expansion has closed the entire northern side of the garage, save for the far northern corner of the garage.

There are several business parking lots along W Washington St that offer a great view of traffic landing on 23R or departing 5L. This is a great way to view or photograph Cargolux 747's when they visit IND once or twice a week since 5L/23R is always their preferred runway. However, a longer lens may be needed.

Airside spotting is also available in Civic Plaza pre-TSA and in the concourses. Large, panoramic windows offer wide views of the airfield.
