Changi Airport Singapore
For the second time in a row, readers have voted Changi Airport as the Best Airport worldwide. Long layovers
become enjoyable here: there's a butterfly garden, the world’s largest kinetic sculpture, video game consoles,
free movie theatres, and Singapore’s tallest slide. This apart, there's a long list of restaurants, shops, lounges,
and airport hotels. With the recently opened Terminal 4, Changi Airport will be able to handle up to 16 million
passengers a year, increasing its annual capacity to 82 million passengers. The new terminal features new systems
and procedures, such as a facial recognition system, centralised security screening, as well as start-to-end
self-service options for check-in.
INDIA’S BEST AWARDS
Long layovers are a breeze, thanks to airports equipped with modern comforts
