Kia Ora!
Imagine an airport terminal that provides travelers on a layover with diversions such as a koi pond and a butterfly garden. Others with a longer layover are offered a free tour of the city. That would be Changi International Airport in Singapore.

| Travelers chill out with waterfall, butterflies and koi here |

| Free tour of Singapore offered |
Pleasant alcoves and plantings offer those in transit attractive places to bide their time.

| Sculpture and plantings |

| Waiting... |
Three hotels on site provide a comfortable place for sleep. Banks of computers provide free access to the Internet. Stores are open 24 hours a day and flights come and go all hours of day and night.
 |
| Checking in for horizontal, quiet rest |
 |
| A 5 minute walk or take the Skytrain |
One can hike the entire length of the three terminals or take the trams from one to another. For those walking, signs advise how long they might expect the walk to take.
The outstanding thing that distinguishes Singapore Airlines are the attractive female flight attendants dressed in traditional Malay dress. But the airport is first class in every way.
