===Terminal 3 Public Indoor Viewing Gallery===
===Terminal 3 Public Indoor Viewing Mall===
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!
The viewing mall here offers a different angle of view from the other viewing malls at Changi, giving you a more aerial-like view of the apron. Aircraft that can be seen from here are Singapore Airlines heavies, movements on 20R/02L, and in the morning and evening, the A380. However, just like at Terminal 2, the transit lounge extends beyond the viewing mall, thus the two layers of glass frames block clear views of the planes. Photography here is also near impossible.

The viewing mall is located two floors above the departure hall. There are four escalators to access the viewing mall, two at the central immigration area and two at the ends of the green wall. There are signs to guide you.
