You just completed a 12-hour flight... the third (and longest) leg of your four-leg flight itinerary is now behind you... after spending 30 hours in transit so far (including flying time and a 7-hour layover in JFK), the last thing you would ever want is to have another layover -you just want to finally get there... but alas, you know you've got just one more... just one more layover, just one more city, and just one more flight before ultimately reaching your final destination... but now arriving at the airport you must pass through before reaching your journey's end, you exit the plane, walk through the jetway, and enter the transitory terminal to see...
The Orchid Garden in Singapore's Changi Airport, Terminal 2
Suddenly, spending a few-hours in layover isn't so bad!
One of my favorite things about flying in and out of Singapore is the time spent in Singapore's beautiful Changi Airport. Unlike many other airports in which layovers are a chore and the activities inside are more reminiscent of livestock herding than anything else, visiting the Changi Airport is more like visiting a resort. There are after all spa amenities, entertainment options, and beautiful gardens galore, all inside the confines of the airport's three terminals.
