You need to Visit Singapore! if only to see this Fabulous airport. Believe me when I say that's an entertainment centre. Changi has 3 terminals that are connected in a horseshoe type layout and all terminals can be reached without ever having to exit the departure side. You can choose to walk or get the travelators. The one thing that you cannot miss is the Transit Hotel, they alllow you to book a block of 6 hours in their hotel room situated in the departures area while waiting for your next flight. the block of 6 hours is charged at $58 Singapore dollars which is about £20,it comes complete with everything you expect in a hotel room such as a toilet and ...  Read the complete review

Changi airport is Singapore's only airport and it is by far and away the best airport in the world. Period. I could leave it at that, enough said. However i shall justify my claim as it is quite a bold one. Changi airport is typical in its singaporean style, it is efficient, frighteningly so at times. Wether you are arriving or departing everything is done in a prompt and quiet fashion, all the information you need is given to you before you know you need it. In all my times passing through Changi i have never had to que for more than 10 minutes, wether it be for check-in or baggage reclaim. On numerous occasions it has taken less than 15 minutes from touching ...  Read the complete review

I should specify immediately that this review has a specific focus; the benefits of SIN as a transfer airport. SIN is located conveniently in the heart of south east Asia, and is frequently used as a transfer point to travel to/from Australia and the Middle East. In my case, I had booked a plane ticket from Brisbane to London Heathrow, and had two transfer spots en route; Singapore and Abu Dhabi. I spent approx 2 hours in SIN and it made a significant impact on me. My experience is detailed below. Having entered the transfer lounge, my fellow passengers and I were immediately and clearly informed as to how long we had in the airport, where we could go, and ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Best. Airport. Ever (360 words)

Singapore Changi Airport is more like a hotel than an airport. Given that it's just an airport, it's quite difficult to explain how it can be so good, but it's on a different scale to other airports around the world, and certainly than any airport in Britain. Arriving and Departing was a pleasure, although there are somewhat different experiences depending on which terminal you use. I arrived in Terminal 3, the newest of the terminals, and was speechless at how clean it was; fountains, greenery, sweets at immigration, fast and efficient baggage handling, and quick security checks helped the 17-hour journey I'd just embarked on finish on a good ...  Read the complete review
