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 was paraphrased from a phone call which occurred on Friday, September 3 between a SpottersWiki contributer 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 [old] media can be found in the STL [http://www.lambert-stlouis.com/flystl/media-newsroom/media-guide/ Media Guide.]
