Since the addition of the new runway there is no safe spotting loction. where ever you go you will be hasseld by the airport police. the best would be geting a room at the sheraton with a window facing the airport. To get to the arch from the airport is easy. the Metrolink runs from Lambert(stl) to Midamerica(blv) in Ill through downtown STL. The ticket will cost you 3 dollars from Lambert. and $1 from evrywhere else. Just get of at the Arch-Lacledes landing stop and look up to find the arch. also the metrolink staion at the mainterminal is a good place to watch what is going on at the airport. you can also kill some time at Union staion at the hooters and other shops or stop at the Central Westend and see what all the kiche' college students are doing.

Ah pocket pool is my favorite because your hands are always occupied.

I would suggest opening up a packet of Cyanide capsules.

Just pay $4 for One-Day Pass, you can take as many rides as you want.
But remember coming back to terminal earlier and don't miss the flight.
(Do I sound like a parent, don't I?)

The ride from airport to the Arch takes about 30 to 45 minutes (?) one way.
