Sydney Kingsford Smith – Spotting Guide

Published by Noah Mauger at March 26, 2014 - last modified on November 10, 2019

Sydney Kingsford-Smith is the busiest airport in Australia (handling 42 million passengers in 2016) and the primary hub of Qantas. Located next to Botany Bay it has three runways colloquially known as “east-west”, “north-south” and “third”, though with the addition of the “third” runway the “east-west” runway which crosses the “north-south” is rarely used. The airport is also an important hub for Virgin Australia and Jetstar which both operate out of one of the two domestic terminals (the other is used exclusively by Qantas and its link operations). Across the “north-south” runway lies the International terminal and the cargo apron. The “third runway” lies some distance away from the rest of the facilities being built on reclaimed land from the harbour.

Traffic is largely made up of Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia with the usual mix of major Far Eastern and North American airlines visiting also. In addition executive jets are common and the airline sees several operators of the A380 including Qantas, Emirates and Singapore Airlines. The airport is one of only a few major ports which has a curfew in operation between 11pm and 6am whilst movements are also limited to 80 aircraft an hour.

Spotting Information
LadderNot applicable
Car/Public TransportA car is recommended but there is also a public transport service to almost every spotting location especially 8,9 and 13,14 are within a 15-20 minutes walk from a train station.
RestroomsWithin the terminals or the restaurants/fast food and hotels next to the locations.
Drinks/FoodPlenty of Fast Food chains around the airport. Check the map for it.
HotelsThere are several hotels spread around the field in all price categories. The most famous one for planespotting is the Rydges Hotel (spot 1).
SeasonThere is no special season but its very hot in the summer and heat haze can be a problem at some positions.
Runway Usage
07/25Almost never used except for some light traffic and when a south-westerly wind is blowing.
16L/34RAlways in use for aircraft up to 777 size. Most traffic from and to New Zealand and Oceania plus some traffic from and to Japan or China can be seen here. Aircraft taking off to the north often undertake a dramatic easterly turn away from the airport soon after take-off.
16R/34LAlways in use and sees all large widebody traffic as well as a wide range of smaller aircraft.


 Spot #1 – Rydges Hotel Conference room
WHEREThis spot is located at the top level (Dreamliner Conference room) of the Rydges Hotel Sydney Airport. You have to registered at the hotel reception. Show your passeport and pay the entrance which will coast you 10AUD and includes a free drink.

+++We were told that the platform was closed. They open it from time to time for special spotter events but behind glass. Check their Facebook page for upcoming events. Check Spot #11 as it is a good alternative!+++

WHATGood for landing, take-off and taxi-way shots of aircraft on runway 16R/34L. Most cargo uses this runway as it parks at adjacent cargo ramp. Long lens shots of portions of the Qantas domestic terminal and the Jetstar pier of T2. Portions of the deck have perspex glass across them making photography annoying as you have to use the few pre-cut holes in the perspex. Alternatively you can position yourself on the stairs to avoid some of the perspex. The view across the rest of the international terminal, which used to be ok, has been severely restricted by new construction rendering the deck a frustrating place from which to view traffic for long periods.
TIMEAfternoon shots, from around 1300.
MISC.There are rubbish bins and toilets at this spots. There is also a restaurants and a bar inside, but they’re not cheap.
FOCAL LENGTHFrom 100mm up to 400mm.

 Spot #2 – Gate 33 International Terminal
WHEREBetween gates 31 and 35 on the left side of the left hand pier of the international terminal through security.
WHATGreat views (albeit through often smeary glass) of the traffic on 16R/34L and the taxiways leading to 16L/34R. Photography without obstructions can be taken with care and assuming that gate 33 is unoccupied. Gate 35 is usually used by Qantas/Jetconnect 737-800s which are small enough not to pose much of a problem.
TIMEIn the afternoons when the sun is not direct and when gate 33 is not in use. Other gates also provide ok views as individual gates do not have their own lounges at the airport.
MISC.Plenty of shops and restaurants in the terminal. This spot is obviously through security.

WHATThis spot is good for all activities on 34L/16R and the taxiing planes from and to 34R/16L. This spot is the best to get nearly all plane activies if the parallel runways are in use.
TIMEThis spot is good from sunrise till 12 a.m.
MISC.You find a fuell station and a Mc Donalds like shown on the map. Several light poles are obstructing your views. Especially larger aircraft do not fit between the poles.

 Spot #6 – The Beach – 16R/34L
WHEREThis spot is a bit tricky as the exit for this spot is on the split up of the M5 into M5 and General Holmes Drive. You have to drive onto the General Holmes Drive and leafe the road on the direktly next exit afther the split up. Drive to the old tower building and run into the street there and you wil be at the popular The Beach position.
WHATThis spot is good for all  activities that happen on the 16R/34L. Just the 16R depatures are a bit tricky as there are some trees blocking the view from the arriving or departing planes and you have to react a bit faster. Be carefull with taking a bath here as there are also shark movements in the water. There is a cage for swimming at spot 7
TIMEThis spot is good from 1:00 p.m. – sunset
MISC.Only some rubbish bins are located here. Depends where you stay you can have some shaddow.
FOCAL LENGTH100-400 mm from the carpark/ a wide agle at the fence.

WHEREThis spot is located if you follow the General Homes Drive from spot 6 a bit more. Turn the first left afther the bridge and you will see the spot. Park your car just on the site before the traffic barrier.
WHATThis spot is an alternate Spot 6 especially for 16R as you can react a bit earlier, but also for 34L as you are closer to the touchdown point from this spot.
TIMEThis spot is good from 1:00 p.m. – sunset
MISC.There is a seafood restaurant as shown on the map a couple of minutes away also with some public toilets. No shaddow at the spot!

 Spot #10 – Domestic Carpark 3 – 34L dep and 25arr/dep
WHEREThere is a 10 story carpark on the eastern end of the domestic terminal. Parking is expensive so you can use the public transport on the Mascot Train or Bus 400 to the Terminal and then walk past the Express pick-up area to the carpark.
WHATGreat location especially for heavy departures on runway 34L and 25 arrivals and departures (mainly taxiing shots but you can get the roll as well). This location isn’t suitible for 16R Departures or arrivals.
TIMEIt’s a great location between 0600 and 1130 for 34L Departures and basically all day for runway 25 arrivals and departures
MISC.There is no facilities at the location itself but there’s a McDonald’s, KFC & Krispy on Ross Smith Avenue, roughly a 500-600 metre walk and will take 10 or so minutes.
FOCAL LENGTH200mm-300mm for 34L departures

 Spot #11 – International Terminal Staff-Carpark – 34L dep and 25arr/dep
WHEREThis location is a replacement of the old Rydges Observation deck which is now rarely open and surrounded by glass. It is just accross from the international terminal and next to the hotel. You can access this staff carpark via public transport or by car parking at the official parking garage but expect some walking as well. You can park your car at/around the Tempe Recreational Reserve for free unless you want to pay for expensive airport parking in the actual carpark.
Via public transport you can get off at the privately owned International Airport station which costs between $15-$30AUD to get off at or walk about 1.5-2km from Wolli Creek station and pay a regular fare. Just follow the T1 International signs and look for the big carpark.
WHATA 12 Story carpark with an overview of the entire airfield. The only useable shots you can get though are 16R Arrivals/Departures/Taxiing, 34L Departures.
25 Departures and 07 Arrivals are possible too but pretty far and not often in use.
This location is one of the best for elevated photographs in Sydney.
TIMEThe level 12 carpark is only suitable from 1300 to 2300 for 16R/34L. 07/25 all day.
MISC.There are no facilites at the carpark itself but if you head to the international terminal which is just across you’ll find almost everything and anything you could possibly need whilst shooting aircaft. Food Court, Bathrooms, Power Outlets, Free WiFi, Newsagents etc. It is a staff carpark so if someone approachs you and seems angry or upset just let them know what youre doing and they wont bother you. DO NOT LITTER!
Its possible that security/police will pass by and ask you to leave as its “private property”.
FOCAL LENGTHThis location requires quite long focal lengths. 100mm-600mm would be ideal for shooting A380’s to 737’s, anything smaller then an A320/737 and the chances of a useable shot degrade quite rapidly.

Spot #12 -Blue Emu Carpark – Ramp, Taxiway, 34L departures
WHEREFollow the signs to Blue Emu Long Term carpark near Sheps Mound. You can park there free for an hour then exit and re-enter and it’s free. On Public Transport you can catch the Blue Emu Shuttle Bus from Domestic Terminals 2 and 3.
WHATThis location is a great spot for almost every movement at Sydney Airport. Static shots on Kilo, Taxiing shots, Arrivals etc. Unlike Spot #4 this location is closer to Charlie, has a better perspective of 34L departure and the spot has far less clutter.
TIME0600-1200 For well lit shots, in summer after 9am heat haze will become a real issu. After sunset you can get nice creative shots with the sunset colours in the background
MISC.You’re shooting through a rusty fence so make sure your lens is betwen the holes in the fence. For Kilo ramp shots (Like A310 shot) you are shooting through the new black barred security fence, I recommend longer focal lengths when shooting throgh them and compensate with a low aperature.
FOCAL LENGTH 20-250mm

https://www.spotterguide.net/images/numbers/Number_14.pngSpot #13 – Nigel Love Bridge/Airport Drive – 16L/R arrivals
WHEREFrom Domestic Terminal drive on O’Riordan Street, after 300 meters turn left into Bourke Street and after another 200 meters turn left into Coward Street. Go straight ahead until Coward Street makes a left turn. Here you can park your car at the curbside. Between the Toll Building and Gate Gourmet walk a footpath along the Alexandra Canal for about 10 minutes until you reach a billboard at the Airport Drive. Here you can stay in the shadow of the billboard or some trees till the beginning of the Nigel Love Bridge, depending on the angle you prefer.
By public it can be accessed via the Mascot train station, and is about a 20 minute walk.
WHATLanding traffic on 16R. Scenery allows for beautiful urban backgrounds as well as reflections of the canal underneath. 16L can also be easily photographed from this site.
TIMEThe sunlight favors 16R traffic until about noon, and then it favors 16L.
MISC.There is nothing around, so bring food and water. At least you can stay in the shadow. When spotting, keep an eye out for joggers and cyclists along the nearby foot path.
FOCAL LENGTH140mm for A320

WHERENot far from spot 9 you will find an IKEA store. On back side of the store the parking lots are not used very frequently, so you can check out your favorite position. You have a better angle here compared to spot 9.
WHATLanding traffic on 16R
TIMEFrom 3 pm until sunset
MISC.As you can stay in your car and also some trees are around, shadow is available. In case you get hungry try the delicious Köttbullar (meat balls) from the IKEA restaurant.

    Hi there,
    We are planning to shoot at Sydney Airport next February.
    This is my first time in Sydney and this site is very helpful.
    I would like to shoot a plane taking off and landing against the backdrop of the Sydney Tower.
    It would be very helpful if you could tell me the recommended place.
    Please.

      Try staying at Citadines Connect Hotel. It’s a short walk from the domestic terminal and has great views over the whole airport from their top floor lounge and bar area. You can’t beat it !
      It’s a short trip to all the plane spotting locations

    Hello I am planning to have a 6-7 days Sydney trip on around Mid-October to November. I have some questions would like to figure out:
    1) Is the weather of October suitable for spotting? For the runway direction, which direction would be used more frequently?
    2) I am not planning to drive for my spotting trip, and I am planning to have my spotting at The Sheps/Tower Mound and the beach, is it can be reached by public transport? Also, if I decide to take a taxi is it too hard to have taxi there?
    3) If I would planning to stay in a hotel for spotting, is Rydges Hotel woule be the best choice? Other than Rydges Hotel, would you have any recommendation for the spotting hotel?

    Best regards,
    Kelvin

    Hello everyone,

    I’ll be visiting the airport (from the USA) on 14 May 2019 if any locals are interest in meeting up I would be grateful. Regardless, thanks for putting this guide together. It has been handy for plane spotting in Hong Kong and Phuket too!

    I went today to the Rydges and they told me the spotting area is permanently closed. That from time to time they do an open day which will be advertised on their facebook page.

        I think that the rydges may be up, I have not been but the Facebook site has a couple of photos the most recent being July so maybe it is open again? or maybe they had a succession of photo weekends or something?

    I highly recommend Swamp Rd (no. 9 on the map above) near 16R.

    Here’s my video taken yesterday from
    https://www.facebook.com/nvs887/videos/10212642980173324/?l=2818527421354405172

    We were primarily tracking the A380s using the Flight Radar 24 App, and also monitoring the Arrivals information at the International Airport.

    Thank you for such an informative post! I too am new to the scene thanks to my 3yo sons’ passion for planes. I got the ‘plane spotters’ package at Rydges last weekend for a treat and took my Dad along. It was fantastic – I am not sure who enjoyed it the most! The problem is, now I am not sure how to top it! Can you recommend somewhere relatively safe to take a 3yo where he too will have a good view?
    Thanks very much.

    Hi Mark,

    Brilliant guide, thank you. Im new to spotting and love watching from Swamp Rd. I had a newbie question, how can you tell which way the planes will be taking off/landing on any given day? I know this is likely dependent on wind but would like to know if there is a way to check before I leave home so I can alternate days at Swamp Rd when they are landing from the west as opposed to the east as the last few times I’ve been it’s always been landing from the east.

    Thanks
    DJ

    Some changes at SYD with Runway usage:

    16L/34R are now used up to B777 . Also New Zealand, United, Vietnam, Xiamen, CEBU and all Pacific Island Traffic are often on this runway.
    07/25 is often in use when wind from East or West and traffic is low for Landing up to B747 also the Freighter. On Weekends with low traffic saw all Day arrivals RWY 07 with SE winds.

    Thanks for great information. Please note that Location # 1 is now closed. Excellent new location opened on top floor of new Rydges Hotel (cost is $10, which includes a drink voucher). Please let me know if you need more information.
    Cheers

      I will be visiting Australia in March of this year. I thought I might visit Sydney for a couple of days. How good is the Rydges hotel? Do you know if residents have access all the time for10 dollars. Is the sun behind you all day or just part of the day?

      Cheers

        Hi John

        Apologies I missed your post, but for others who are interested, Rydges is good from midday until sunset with views over main runway 16R/34L. You could also get departure shots if using runway 07. I think that those staying at the hotel could access the viewing balcony for nothing. Access availability is usually posted on the hotel’s FB page and is subject to conferences and others using this part of the hotel

        Cheers
        Mark

        Hi Bernhard

        Perth now has an observation deck available for spotting/photography. Cairns has some good locations but you would need a car/taxi to access. Have a look here:

        https://sirsteveincairns.smugmug.com/Airplanes/CAIRNS-SPOTTING-SITES/

        I suggest #5 for the afternoon as it gives good shots from above the airport with the ocean behind the aircraft.

        For another airport I would suggest Melbourne or Brisbane as both have photo sites on the perimiter

        Let me know if you need more info.

        Cheers
        Mark
