Doha is slick and modern and very pretty, but Changi is streets ahead in terms of its dining, shopping and entertainment options.
I’ve arrived at Singapore Changi, as many passengers do, by plane – this is a four-hour stopover between a flight from Frankfurt and one on to Sydney. For those arriving from Singapore itself, it’s about a half-hour cab ride from downtown, or an hour by public transport.Is this the world’s greatest airport? Apparently, not any more. In April this year, the consultancy firm Skytrax released its annual list of the world’s best airports, and, replaced at the top by Doha’s Hamad International.
Here you will find every cuisine from local Peranakan, Malay, Chinese and Indian, to multiple ramen outlets, American fast food chains, Vietnamese, Thai, French, and a robot barista. And again, that’s just T3. There’s also Singapore Food Street in T3, a rough recreation of Singapore’s classic hawker centres, featuring outlets of much-loved local stands such as Tai Wah Pork Noodle, and Chef Wei HK Cheong Fun. Several are open 24 hours.
