This area is just about the only place in the airport which you can spot. There are ample seats in this air-conditioned viewing mall, a food court and a pub on the same level, and restrooms located nearby, making the place rather comfortable. Currently occupying the east side of the terminal, it provides a clear view of the central apron, as well as movements along the three North Cross taxiways. Aircraft parked at the remote bays off the terminal, the cargo terminal and at SIAEC hangars are also visible from a distance, although the many obstacles make a full, unblocked view of the aircraft there impossible. Also visible are 20R departures and landings, 20C landings, and 02R and 02C departures, but from a distance. | This area is just about the only place in the airport which you can spot.

It is advisable to check the gates of the flights online at the airport website (information is usually online up to 12 hours before, although for shorter flights this may only be available about 2 hours before the arrival of the flight) as on some days there are very few flights using the central apron whilst on other days it can be full house there. | ||
The required lens focal length to spot here would be about 30mm-300mm for most shots, although 400mm will be useful to shoot A320/B737 Family aircraft or the occasional private jet taxing on North Cross 3. | The required lens focal length to spot here would be about 30mm-300mm for most shots, although 400mm will be useful to shoot A320/B737 Family aircraft or the occasional private jet taxing on North Cross 3. | ||
