Singapore Airport

Singapore Airport is renowned for being the most beautiful Airport in the World

Plush carpets (yes carpents, not carpet tiles) are everywhere. In contrast to hard floors

it is like walking on freshly mown grass. Or like walking barefoot on a soft Australian beach.

There are a multitude of shops and stores selling many things 

Below find the butterfly section. Unfortunately our evening arrival was not

conducive to viewing these magnificent  insects. But a longer stopover

in daylight would be a stop worth making. This is only one area. 

Sitting areas: There are plenty of places for weary travellers to sit and relax

while recharging phones and tablets. The seats are soft and carpets plush

its a real relaxing area. Plus behind and near to the window there is a tiled

raised fish pond with Coy Carp swimming. The overhead lighting made clear

pictures imposible. But nonetheless a very relaxing area. We had a five

hour layover and hadn't seen hardly any of the airports other attractions. 

Heading for the gates: passing shops you had missed previously.

Yes it's a long way if you are walking. Much easier by electric

people carrier. But for those walking plenty of places to stop for

last minute items of comfort and to stop and have a picture taken

in front of the Angels Wings... see picture below

Gate area: Still the beautiful carpet. Comfortable seating.  

Yes the Singapore Airport is a most fantastic place and for the traveller well

worth making a long stop over. No need to get a visa to see the city. The

airport alone has plenty of enjoyable displays. Our return trip was only with

a one hour stop. Yes it was all done very efficiently. But obviously now we

would recommend taking a long stop over in daylight to really enjoy

Singapore Airport and get completely refreshed for the journey ahead.
