When we were departing Singapore for Perth Australia we made sure to allocate plenty of time to explore the Worlds Best Airport as awarded by Skytrax. Singapore Changi airport is renowned for its many impressive features – this airport is a destination in itself. We allowed 6 hours to explore and here is our guide to making the most of the Worlds Best Airport.
