This area is just about the only place in the airport which you can spot | 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. Spanning the entire T1 central apron, 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 near impossible to photograph due to the many obstacles that make a full, unblocked view of the aircraft there impossible. You can also see takeoffs from 02L and 02C (during November to April) and landings on 20R and 20C (during May to October), but from a distance. | ||
The usual aircraft parked at the central apron include Garuda 737s, Qantas A330s, Cathay Pacific and Indian Airlines. 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 usual aircraft parked at the central apron include Garuda 737s, Qantas A330s, Cathay Pacific and Indian Airlines.

The required lens focal length to spot here would be about 38mm-300mm for most shots, although 400mm will be useful to shoot the occasional private jet or A320s taxing on North Cross 3. | |||
