erection day Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Changi Airport has always stolen the limelight as the best airport in the world in many citations. Would you agree? Is there other airport which you'd been which you think is more deserving of this accolade? I have transisted in quite a few and Changi is still the best. Saw the preview of our spanking new Terminal 3- it looks mighty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erection day Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 A lot of buzz has been generated about Changi Airport's Terminal 3 which opens on Jan 9. According to reports, among the 100 shops and 30 f&b outlets is a 'Ferrari shop-the first in any airport outside Italy. Luxury cellphone manuafacturer Vertu will also open an outlet. Other brands to open there are Mulberry, Fifa, La Perla, Fat Face, Hard Rock Cafe, Senso (Italian restaurant), SK-11, etc'. So far only Spore Airline is the only confirmed T3 tenant so far. So if you, like me fly Jetstar a lot, no chance to use their facility there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akated Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 i find it funny how people can make comments like "no lah, hongkong's cheplapkok airport is much better than T3", when T3 is not even officially open. unless you can travel into the future, how do you even know that T3 is better/worse than other airports?anyway, i'm personally impressed by changi, having been to my share of airports around the world (not incheon though, so i can't comment on that). strangely enough, the human touch that's so lacking in many parts of singapore may be found at changi.

Guest Guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I think T3 ah.. hmm... nothing really that special except the indirect lighting and the sophisticated baggage system. The rest is about the same as T1 and T2.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fm am Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 That's how stupid Singaporeans can be. Blindly and unthinkingly believing all the buzz. Try Incheon, Seoul. My friend saw with his own eyes a savage beating by a Korean staff of an Indian guy who was caught shoplifting at the Duty Free at Seoul Airport. Whack whack whack! This would not happen here at Changi. So much for Incheon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tic-toc Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Considering being a reputable international airport, there are many personnel problems internally like high labour turnover rate. As a result, they often need to employ under trained staffs and temporary staffs.My friends who work in the check in counters always have long shifts and work continuously for more than a week without off days. Under incapable personnel management, they also protest for bad staff treatment and under paid (we all do that too).I feel that it is like a time bomb. Sooner or later it will explode and will have effect on the efficency and image of Changi airport. Quote If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

lonely Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I guess high turn over is inevitable in such a high stress environment. When dealing with customers direct, these staff often take the full heat of angry customers. I often see such incidents in helpdesk environment.Back to Changi Airport, just want to check with you guys. I believe Changi Airport has a homely feeling is partly due to the fact that it is carpeted. Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan airports are mainly tiles or laminate. On one hand, these airports seems porsh and up class, but they feel more like high end shopping centres rather than homes. What do you think?

erection day Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I believe Changi Airport has a homely feeling is partly due to the fact that it is carpeted. The Thai airport may be new but it certainly feels 'cold'. Maybe due to its grey concrete stucture all around. I personally thought the carpet at our Changi airport is ghastly!!! So gaudy. I almost got a headache staring at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_skylover Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I've flown to most cities in asia including hongkong and seoul.. I personally prefer Changi. Homely and not cold. Many new airports in the world looks good with the metal interior, very modern as well.. But they lack the x factor that Changi has. They r cold looking and sometimes i think they all nearly look the same, just different layout.It's very important for an airport to have an identity as well. And this is branding. I think Changi brands itself very much alike as our country.. A garden city.In my opinion, Changi is the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
