-===Terminal 2 Public Indoor Viewing Gallery===

-Located one floor above the departure hall (escalators are clearly visible from the departure hall and signage is clear), this is not a good place to photograph aircraft as the transit lounge extends beyond the viewing gallery. The glass is also tinted green and there are sunshades fixed over it. This makes it virtually impossible to snap any pictures of aircraft. But it is a good place to watch and take note of registrations of Singapore Airlines 777s, SilkAir A319s and A320s and Malaysian Airlines 737s. But do note that this viewing gallery tends to get crowded most of the time due to its small area. There are also many restaurants located near and on the same level as the viewing gallery.
+The viewing mall hear offers a view of many Singapore Airlines 777s, SilkAir and Malaysian Airlines aircraft, which are the main users of Terminal 2. Movements on 20C/02C are also visible. However, this location is unsuitable for photography, firstly as the glass panels are tinted green, and secondly the transit mall extends under the viewing mall, effectively placing two layers of glass in front of you, and a lot of panel frames to contend with. The sunshades also block you from looking at eye level, instead you have to look downwards to see the aircraft parked at the apron.
+The relatively small size of the viewing mall also means that it tends to get crowded often, especially on weekends. There are many restaurants on the same level, which you will pass by before you get to the viewing mall.
+The viewing mall is located one floor above the departure hall. Escalators are located between Immigration North and South, near check-in rows 5 and 6 and rows 7 and 8. There are signs that will guide you to the location.
