Official Spotting Locations

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.

However, in tradeoff, the weather condition in Tan Son Nhat is usually not so ideal for spotting. It is usually cloudy with haze, decreasing the visibility. But everything should be fine as long as the sun is shining, you can do the de-haze during your post-editing work.
