A relaxing wait at Singapore’s Changi Airport
- Share via
Passengers at Singapore’s Changi Airport now have many more dining and shopping options (think Hard Rock Cafe and an Apple concept store) as well as an indoor garden with waterfalls since the opening of the 4-million-square-foot Terminal 3 on Jan. 9. The $1.22-billion terminal can handle up to 22 million passengers a year, increasing Changi’s capacity to 70 million.
The main building, which has 900 skylights, contains eight gates for the Airbus 380, the world’s largest plane; a mass-transit train station below ground; kiosks with free Internet access in the departure hall (above); and the “Green Wall,” a 900-foot, five-story vertical garden that features four cascades.
