YWorld-Class Airport

Singapore:Flying High
Viktor Navorski should be so lucky.
The gleaming structure that shelters fictional tourist Navorski in the new film The Terminal was built from the gound up in California. But Singapore's Changi Airport tops even the Hollywood facility, from free movies, local phone calls and two-hour sightseeing tours to live entertainment, public showers and a swimming pool.
"If I had to be stranded at an airport, I'd put Changi at the top of the list," says Peter Miller of Skytrax, a London-based firm that publishes passenger rankings of airlines and airports worldwide.
The in-transit hotel rents rooms for as little as [US] $23.75 [about S$40] for six hours, but crashing within the carpeted confines for the free "napping lounge" (thoughtfully equipped with alarm clocks) is a cheapskate flier's nirvana, says Donna McSherry of www.sleepinginairports.net. "I am almost inclined to travel to Singapore, just to camp out in the airport," she says. "It's a little piece of heaven on Earth."
A swimming pool? I didn't know we had that.
