===Terminals 1, 2 and 3 Transit Malls===

Like many other airports, one has to explore places to spot especially in the transit lounges, but there are places within the transit lounges to spot especially around the areas which you first enter after clearing immigration. 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.
The transit malls will offer you one of the best locations to spot, giving you close views of aircraft parked at the gates. This is especially so in Terminals 2 and 3, where the aircraft wingtips are just metres away from the glass.
At Changi, your best bet will be to walk in a straight line after clearing immigration (you have to walk around the shops sometimes though) and you will reach the big glass panels where you can get a good view of the planes.
Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are connected by skytrain so you can hop around terminals to spot if time permits. Walking between terminals is another option. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants in the terminal.
