Singapore
Changi Airport, commonly known as Changi Airport,
is a major civilian airport that serves Singapore, and is one of the
largest transportation hubs in Asia. It is currently rated the World's Best
Airport by Skytrax for the eighth consecutive year since 2013. It
is also the first Airport in the world to do so for eight consecutive years and
is one of the world's busiest airports by international passenger and cargo
traffic. The airport is located in Changi, at the eastern end of
Singapore, approximately 20 km (12 mi) from Marina Bay, on
a 13 square kilometre (5.0 sq mi) site.
Jewel Changi is home to what’s now the world’s
tallest indoor waterfall called the HSBC Rain Vortex, and is surrounded by
tens of thousands of trees, plants, and shrubs. It’s being marketed as its own
destination for locals as well, with a grocery store and movie theater inside.
As for passengers planning to visit during a
stopover, they will need to plan ahead of time, as the food and shopping hub is
only accessible to visitors after passing through immigration and baggage
claim. Jewel Changi said passengers with at least five hours or more should
consider visiting.
