Changi International Airport — Singapore, Singapur

(en inglés)

Nobody likes a long layover, but if there's no way to avoid it, you can't pick a better place than Singapore's Changi Airport.

With amenities including peaceful flower gardens, free mini-cinemas, comfortable sleeping chairs, free X-box games (upstairs in Terminal 2), 24-hour restaurants, 24-hour convenience stores at city prices, and proper work desks with universal power sockets and free broadband internet, it's a traveler's dream.

Tiger Airways uses the nearby Budget Terminal, which is connected to the main airport by regular free shuttle bus service (travel time about 15 minutes). The Budget terminal is much simpler, but still nicer than most other airports.

The Singapore MRT (underground rapid-transit train) connects directly to Terminal 1. You can walk or take the internal airport train to Terminal 2.

A ride to the city centre takes half an hour and costs about SGD2.

Free internet PCs are scattered throughout the airport (in departure/transit area only). There are several clusters in each concourse, and two or three PCs in each depature gate.

Also there are several areas in each terminal with desks and ethernet ports for laptop users. The largest in Terminal 2 is upstairs near the 24-hour food court, in the same area as the free video games. The largest in Terminal 1 is along the windows in the long hallway leading to the departure gates (behind the bars and cafés).

Wifi access is only available from paid providers. If you roam your GSM phone on Starhub, you can get a username and password for free access through their Wifi system.
