Singapore’s Changi Airport has been named the best airport by airline ranking site Skytrax for the twelfth time. With the world’s largest indoor waterfall at its center, reaching a depth of 40 meters, Changi is truly a must-see. It’s easy to think that the flight was delayed a bit so we could look around a little longer. When viewed from the outside, the glass building in the middle looks like a sparkling jewel, hence the name of the building: Singapore Jewel. There’s also a lot to see inside. For example, swimming pool, cinema, playground, butterfly garden, koi ponds and indoor forest with waterfalls. And all of this is on 1300 hectares of land.

To choose the best airports, a survey was conducted by the Skytrax website to visitors of 550 airports. The giant Hamad International Airport in Doha, which hosts visitors to the World Cup, also performed very well and ranked second. In 2021 and 2022, Doha came first, ahead of Singapore. With its futuristic design and high-tech equipment, Hamad is an airport worth staying at. Visitors can visit shopping opportunities, luxury stores, tropical garden and exclusive restaurants before boarding the plane. Expansion Phase B, scheduled to begin this year, will make the airport accessible to 60-70 million passengers in the future, up from approximately 58 million last year.

This year, the Japanese Haneda Airport in the capital Tokyo, which was chosen as the cleanest airport in the world, ranked third. Recently, Haneda Airport management announced that an expansion is planned this year. Among other things, an express bus terminal, luxury hotels and a rooftop spa will be built. The airport was expanded with the addition of international Terminal 3 in 2010. The highlights are street scene-style shops in historic Tokyo. Anyone looking for some fun while passing through will appreciate the shops in “Tokyo Pop Town” that offer unique experiences.

The metropolis of Seoul is popular and has Incheon Airport, the fourth best airport in the world. Incheon Airport is located on Yeongjongdo Island in the Yellow Sea, about an hour’s drive from Seoul. The airport offers a wide range of recreational opportunities as well as numerous shops and boutiques. For example, there is “Spa on Air” where you can rent a relaxation room with a bathtub. Massages are also offered. Free showers are also available for transit passengers and a digital fitness studio is accessible in Terminal 2. There are two cinemas where you can relax and show the latest movies. If you are preparing for a longer transit, you can visit the transit hotel or the Darakhyu capsule hotel in Terminal 1. There is also “Paradise City Art-tainment”, which includes a shopping mall, casino, amusement park and a club for the whole family. The exhibition features over 2,700 works of art, including works by star artist Damien Hirst. Meanwhile, Incheon also won the Skytrax Best Employee Award in 2023.

Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport in Paris is the third largest airport in Europe after Istanbul Airport and London Heathrow. This year CDG won the Skytrax award for best airport in Europe. A total of around 57.5 million passengers were handled here in 2022. Anyone staying at the airport will find a full range of amenities, from shops, lounges and spas to hair salons and hotels. In heavy traffic, Place de la Concorde in the heart of Paris can be reached in approximately 60 minutes by car. In order to shorten travel time, a new express train will be built into the city by 2025, with the journey taking only 20 minutes. Unfortunately, this new railway line will not be ready until the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the most used of the three airports in the metropolis and is located on the European side of the city. It was opened in 2018 and replaced Ataturk Airport at that time. This year, it ranked sixth in the list of the world’s best airports. There is a wide variety of duty-free shops. If you prefer to spend your time in other ways, you can visit the library with 2,000 books and magazines. Afterwards, you can relax in a comfortable chair in one of the five public lounges.

Fly: Since public transportation lines are not fully developed, it is useful to use a shuttle bus or private transfer to enter the city.

Munich airport ranked 7th in the 2022 and 2023 Skytrax rankings. It was also chosen as the best airport in Central Europe. Munich Airport received another award for Europe’s best airport staff. Germany’s other airports are far behind: Düsseldorf in 21st place, Frankfurt in 25th place, Hamburg in 38th place and Cologne-Bonn in 56th place. Munich Airport introduces itself as “a city with everything”. Among other things, there are 60 restaurants and cafes here, including the Bavarian beer garden. There are also 150 shops and boutiques, travel markets, children’s playgrounds and sleeping cabins for relaxation.
