This Wednesday Singapore's Changi Airport opens its brand new terminal; eat your heart out Heathrow.
Changi Terminal 3 is set to be a high-tech wonder. Boasting innovative "see-through" design (think lots of glass and natural light to make it easier for passengers to navigate their way around) and a five-storey high "Green Wall" vertical garden (complete with waterfalls and climbing plants), Changi may well snatch Hong Kong's best airport crown in 2008.
Air passengers will also benefit from over 100 shops, including an Apple i-Store, and numerous restaurants.
"Customers will now enjoy the benefits of having access to two world-class terminals – state-of-the-art facilities, modern design, thoughtful service and of course, more choice," said Yap Kim Wah, Senior Vice President of Product and Services for Singapore Airlines.
The new terminal, which adds 28 gates, will have eight that are able to facilitate the new A380 Airbus.
Little wonder it cost 1.75 billion Singapore dollars to complete.
