The Transit:Singapore Airport



The best part of the journey, the transit at the Singapore airport lasted for 3 hours approx. For the initial some time, I was perplexed as to what should I be doing. I just got off the flight and kept moving in one particular direction where everyone was moving and that in turn turned out to be the correct direction. As I approached a lady at the Singapore airlines counter, she told me that my next flight SQ16 is from terminal A14 and that I had to take sky train to go there. So these 3 hour time was spent usefully in Singapore airport taking pictures and looking around places. And to tell you what, Singapore airport is by far the best airport I have seen. Not even SFO was close enough. The kind of duty free shops you have in the airport, the transit time is sure to be enjoyed the best. This is where I saw the travellator for the first time . And to tell about sky train, it is simply awesome. A train service for going from one terminal to the other. The airport is so big that one needs sky trains to move around. The staff at the airport , extremely friendly and corteous. The airport extremely clean and well maintained. With boards message hoardings all around, one can easily find his way out without asking for any help. The way the Singapore airport has been developed , it looks more like a shopping mall or some palace than a airport. And according to me if you want to completely visit Singapore Changy airport you need a transit of at least 8 hours.
