The observation deck can be accessed through the Esky Bar, which is located at the far northern end of the international terminal check-in hall. This is to the left as you enter through any of the main doors. The deck is on the level above the departures level, so you have to use the stairs or lift from the outdoor seating area of the Esky bar in order to get up to it. | The observation deck can be accessed through the Esky Bar, which is located at the far northern end of the international terminal check-in hall.

<br>'''Update''': As of early 2007, the upstairs bar at the observation deck itself was removed along with most of the seating. The main restaurant/bar downstairs still exists. | |||
Photography is best in the afternoon and evening, when the light is best. The approximate required lens focal length is 50 to 300mm, though 200mm is still fine as a maximum. The best place to shoot from is right at the top of the stairs up to the deck. This is useful for everything except 16R approach photos (in front of the city) and some cargo apron movements. For these, it is necessary to use the convenient holes in the glass wall at the far northern end of the observation deck, just next to the lift. | Photography is best in the afternoon and evening, when the light is best.
