Located two floors above the departure hall (escalators and signage are clear and visible), this viewing gallery has slightly better views than the Terminal 2 Public Indoor Viewing Gallery but just like Terminal 2, the transit lounge extends beyond the viewing gallery and the two layers of glass obstructs views of planes departing from runway 20R/02L and aircraft parked at the gates, so therefore photography is not recommended but like Terminal 2 it is a good place to watch and take note of registrations of Singapore Airlines A380s and 747s. Do note that this viewing gallery tends to get crowded during weekends but due to its large area it is quite tolerable. There is a restaurant located within the viewing gallery (Earl's Swensons) and it is a good place to dine and watch the planes at the same time! | Located two floors above the departure hall (escalators and signage are clear and visible), this viewing gallery has slightly better views than the Terminal 2 Public Indoor Viewing Gallery but just like Terminal 2, the transit lounge extends beyond the viewing gallery and the two layers of glass obstructs views of planes departing from runway 20R/02L and aircraft parked at the gates, so therefore photography is not recommended but like Terminal 2 it is a good place to watch and take note of registrations of Singapore Airlines A380s and 747s.

This is mainly the same throughout all the terminals especially at Terminal 3 with great views of aircraft landing and taking off on runway 02L/20R. Do note that within the transit lounges there are "skytrains" available for you to hop from one terminal to the other or you can walk as all the terminals(except the budget terminal) are inter-connected. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants (some are open 24 hours) available within the transit lounges in all the terminals (including the budget terminal). However at Terminal 1 the tinted glass prevents you from viewing the planes parked at night. | ||
