	If you go to the domestic terminal, there is a good view of the apron from the 2nd floor. However, there are few problems here. First of all, glass in windows is old and dirty. Then there are "Photography prohibited" signs everywhere. Remember: '''There are no laws in Russia that prohibit taking pictures of aircrafts or in airports'''. However, airport security and police quite like to argue about that. So if you don't want to be arrested, don't stay there for a long time. Or at least don't hold the camera permanently.

	There are not many shops in airport area. Main advice is do not buy anything in terminal building, prices are higher by 15-20%. For snacks and drinks you can go nearby gas station or to the kiosk at the bus stop. There are also some shops in Topolevo and Matveevka.		There are not many shops in airport area.

			===All other places===
			If you want to explore the area around - feel free do it. You can find many places around the airport perimeter with some hills, nicely growing trees, poles like in RWY05R spot. Main problem of them all is that these spots often not compensate for the efforts and trouble you might have.

	===RWY 05R field spot===		===RWY 05R field spot===
	There are some bended steel-concrete poles near the beginning of RWY 05R which are located close to the fence of airfield. Some of this poles are straight vertical, some are bended so you can stand on them. From there you can see aircrafts landing, taxiing and lining up on 05R. The clearly visible section of runway is from TWY E to TWY F, the rest of runway is obscured by ATC service building to the right. This is a very good spot thanks to short distance to aircrafts but getting there is harder than to any other place. Main problem is to cross the field from the road that goes parallel to the runway from Topolevo. It can be muddy, especially in the autumn, so you probably will need a high boots. Then there is a high grass (mainly artemisia, be careful if you are allergic!) all over the field.

	Security is not a problem here. There is no police posts around, but airport security can patrol the perimeter using the inner aerodrome road, you need to avoid being seeing by them. Also runway inspection car shows up regularly but looks like they don't care about spotters.		Security is not a problem here.

	Khabarovsk Novy International Airport is one of the largest airports in Russian Far East. There is no ~~base carrier~~ since Dalavia went bankrupt in 2008. Airport has two parallel runways: 05L/23R (3500 m) and 05R/23L (4000 m). 05R/23L is used in about 75% of time.

	There is also Local Airlines airport (UHHT) about 1 km from Novy but due to extremely low traffic (only couple flights a day) it is not very interesting for spotting.

	VIP lounge is located in the right wing of the domestic terminal, so you can get there very ~~easy~~. View from this spot is partially the same you can get in the terminal, but there ~~are~~ no glass (obviously). There is a fence in front of the hill, but you will need to raise the camera only slightly to compensate that. Aircrafts taxiing via TWY A will be right in front of you. But since this TWY used almost only when RWY 05 in operation, do not expect very much traffic there. You also can take a shot of Dalavia Tu-154s standing in the pocket of TWY A from this location.

	Main place to spot when RWY 05 in operation. It is a car interchange there, so place won't be a problem since you stand on the side of the road. This place is suitable to take pictures all ~~the~~ day, but recommended also for afternoon shots. To take photos in the morning you can walk a little bit further (basically, pass a railway crossing), but it will be a slightly less comfortable because cars will pass near you at high speeds and there is no border between pedestrian walkway and road.

	Main spotting place due to amount of time RWY 23 is in operation. You will need to stay where the main asphalt road intersects with secondary soil road that goes parallel to the runway. Aircrafts landing on RWY 23 will be at extremely low altitude, you can shoot them even with 50mm lens. You can stay on the soil road (where virtually no traffic at all) or move a little bit further from glidepath and stay on the back side of the road (again, cars will bass you by at high speeds) or even in the field (not always possible due to mud and water).

If you stay from the left side of a glidepath, they don't see you thanks to the trees. If you move so to be comfortable with afternoon light they will be able to see you and might argue about photographing.		Place is good before midday, but afternoon photography also possible.
