Today holidaying is a multifaceted affair, it’s not just about the destination anymore, but the whole travel experience and it starts as soon as you turn the key in your front door, pick up your luggage and make your way to the airport.
This got me thinking about all of the features that make a holiday truly luxurious; they are many and wide-ranging, but one of the aspects people don’t generally consider the actual airport itself. Recently voted the world’s best airport, the airport that I will be focusing on in this post is Singapore’s Changi International Airport. Singapore is an incredibly vibrant and multicultural gateway into South East Asia, ideal for luxury holidays and honeymoons alike. 
Changi is an exceptional facility that caters to travellers’ everyday needs as well as opportunities for indulgence and leisure. Although from the outside the building may look somewhat unremarkable, it comes to life once you step inside. As well as the typical baggage services, information points, medical centres and money changing facilities, Changi goes that extra mile to ensure comfort and satisfaction for its customer-centric approach. 
iChangi allows patrons to download applications onto Wi-Fi enabled devices and instantly access flight information and retail options and offers. Care@Changi is a scheme that centres around expectant mothers, mothers with young children and passengers with reduced mobility, providing them greater help and support moving around the airport and opportunities to enjoy priority queues at security check points and taxi stands. 
Whether patrons are looking to indulge in business or pleasure, Changi has all the bases covered. There are well-equipped business centres and Internet service kiosks so that wherever you are in the airport you can keep an eye on your emails or check the markets. Transiting customers who have more than five hours to spare before their connecting flight are not subjected to waiting around inside the airport but can enjoy a free two-hour tour of the city, providing people only passing through the airport with the opportunity to experience the bustling metropolis of modern-day Singapore. 
If you’re worried about looking your best when you step off the plane, then take advantage of the airports numerous hair and beauty salons or for an equally relaxing atmosphere take a break at one of the music bars and lounges. Other leisure facilities include nature trails, rest areas, a gym and therapy centre, a swimming pool and a hotel. 
For those seeking a more entertaining countdown to their flight why not check out the arcade or multimedia centre, catch a film at the movie theatre or let the children tire themselves out in the children’s playground. 
The airport’s latest innovation is the construction of Singapore’s tallest slide, standing at 12 metres high; and is just as popular with the adults as it is the children. Flying out of Changi airport, perhaps on a twin-centre tour of South East Asia, is an absolute pleasure, so whether you’re heading home or moving to pastures new you’ll never experience quite like Changi airport again.
