One of the two main airports serving Beijing in China, this dedicated area is situated under the final approach to runway 36R. It is elevated, with views over the western side of the airfield, Terminal 3, and the nearby executive apron. Photography is good from this spot, which is reached by walking along the twisting path from the terminal. Alternatively, you can reach the spot by road.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong is an amazing airport for spotting big airliners, and particularly freighters like the Boeing 747. There are a few places around the perimeter that you can get good views of the action, but if you\u2019re flying through the airport you need to visit the Sky Bridge. This elevated walkway passes over the active taxiway with airliners passing directly beneath you, with the so-called SkyDeck visitor area inside.<\/p>\n

Tokyo Haneda Observation Decks\"\"<\/span><\/h3>\n

The busiest airport in Japan, serving many international and domestic routes and carriers. All three terminals have observation decks, so spotters are well catered for. It\u2019s a good idea to move between them to make sure you\u2019re not missing anything, but overall the International Terminal probably offers the best all option. They\u2019re free of charge to enter and open all day.<\/p>\n

Nicely air-conditioned, you can enjoy some good views of movements from this indoor area inside Terminal 1. It has views of the central apron and more distant views of aircraft on the runways. Singapore Airlines aircraft don\u2019t usually park here. Photography is acceptable, but through glass, and better on the afternoon. To reach the area, go up the escalators from the check-in hall.<\/p>\n
