Singapore’s Changi Airport is probably the best place to spend a long layover.Changi Airport was named the world’s best by Skytrax from 2013 to 2020. The airport is a major hub for Singapore Airlines and features luxuries like a pool and a movie theater.
The transit area spans across all four terminals, with 1, 2, and 3 connected via an airside train, while the 4th can be accessed by an airside bus. The unique activities and extravagant shops are mostly located in terminals 1 and 3.
Boasting four huge terminals with endless shopping, food, and entertainment, the airport was named the world’s best by Skytrax for eight years in a row from 2013 to 2020.
Despite losing its crown to Qatar’s Hamad International Airport in 2021, Changi still welcomed over 32 million passengers in 2022 and is planning a fifth terminal to open in the mid-2030s.
