Jerlyn NgWhat’s new? Nothing much, really. Changi Airport has just won the title for World’s Best Airport (again) for its fifth year running, and its eighth time in total.
On top of that, it also swept the awards for Best Airport in Asia and Best Airport for Leisure Amenities.
It’s part nation pride, part objectivity, but we say Changi Airport deserves every bit of the glory it receives. Because there’s really nowhere else you should bask in these world class amenities like in Changi Airport:

An airport boulevard prettier than your broken dreams
They say beauty comes from inside out. But even our outsides are killin’ it.
A new terminal we already know will kick ass
Terminal 4 is slated for opening in the second half of 2017, and we can’t be more thrilled. Biometric self-service check-ins and bag drops to Peranakan-style architecture – Changi Airport can’t seem to stop topping itself, can it?
