==Official Spotting Locations==
Most of the time, traffic uses 25R for arrival and 25L for departure. Occasionally, during high east wind season, there is a chance that they will use 07L for departures and 07R for arrivals instead.


All official spotting locations at SGN are located inside coffee shops, which makes accessibility to shelter, restroom, food & drink a lot easier compared to many other airports worldwide.
