Singapore airport created an impressive proposition: even though you may only be changing planes, you can get a sense of the city state on one of the three different free tours for transit travellers.
Hundreds of passengers were waiting at the gate at Singapore’s Changi airport for Jetstar’s overnight flight to Melbourne last Friday evening when the flight was cancelled.
Plus, the cancellation also allowed me comprehensively to tour the entire transit area of one of the world’s key hubs while “airside” – ie without clearing Singapore immigration.
The Aerotel on Level 3 of Terminal 1 claims to be “the only airport transit hotel in the world equipped with an outdoor swimming pool, poolside bar and shower facilities”.
Each of Terminals 1, 2 and 3 has an outdoor garden with great views of the airfield where transit passengers can smoke.
