Best Airport Awards

World’s Best Airports (according to Skytrax)

For the 13th time, Singapore’s Changi Airport has been named the World’s Best Airport in the Skytrax World Airport Awards.

Changi also won awards for the World’s Best Airport Dining, the World’s Best Airport Washrooms and as the Best Airport in Asia.

It’s no wonder. Changi Airport is a destination on its own, with free snooze lounges, game rooms and movie theaters, a butterfly garden, a swimming pool, great art, a fitness zone and, over in the Jewel entertainment and retail center, the world’s largest indoor waterfall.
