Have you been to the "World's Best Airport"?

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

As a frequent traveller, the airport is usually not a memorable part of the journey. If you agree, then you should book a flight to Singapore and visit Changi Airport, also known as the "Best Airport in the World" by the 2017 Skytrax World Airport Awards for five consecutive years.

Why they won?
