google will give you the perfect location. You'll find dozens of other spotters and photographers there as well

everyone always seems to be out on Airport road near the international centre.... there is a spot where you can always see 10 or more cars pulled over with photographers lined up.

I use these sites to guess which runways are in operation:

Wendy's parking lot on Airport road is always popular.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39895427@N00/413187732/" title="2006may8airplane04L by Ramon Zarate, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/161/413187732_27fb24303e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="2006may8airplane04L"></a>

3 ~ 6 PM is landing rush hour. After 5pm adjacent lot is accessible and parking garage upper level clears out, with long lens you can get some nice shots.

Thanks Donald. Great shots. You got a dust bunny on your sensor though you might want to take care of it :lol:
