Terminal 3, Changi Airport Singapore

The last trip of taking SQ got me see the terminal 3 of Changi Airport. Seen some improvement of the shuttle train from 15 minute interval to 5 minute. A butterfly garden and a fish pond to entertain guests during transit time. Big hall and a high ceiling, but the premium lounge for priority pass and elite credit card holders is not spacious enough. Noted that the free internet is available for the locals who have already had their internet IDs registered.

this is called an 'airport', shame that SUV of Thailand!

Wait till you see LAX, then you know SUV is in fact an "airport".
LAX does not change much for the past 20 years.

SUV - last time they hung some white clothes like a maze in the immigration counter area. So the guests had to walk like an Egyptian. One of the runways closed for maintenance. Interesting that Don Muang (the old airport) or many other Asian airports don't need to have maintenance all along so many years. Suggest the re-opening of Don Muang and SUV acts as a domestic airport or budget airline airport.
SS, at least LAX has a very safe runway. Runway safety in an airport is the top priority. We don't care if they have foot massage or the lousy Mango Tree restaurant in the airport.

hahaha agreed with in-the-sea.

Thailand always wants to be and earn no.1 (so fake!), so this SUV definitely got no.1 - first international (and the most expensive per sqm usable area) airport in the world that need a major runway fix within ten years after operation; the no.1 airport that targeted multi millions of passengers per year that only hv a very limited few immigration officers on duty, that made passengers wait in long queue for two hours and missed a flight (the immigration claimed that they don't hv 'enough' fund, so were those budget go? all 'clean' people, i am sure u already know the answer), and more 'reverse' no.1 counting ..

Glad to hear at least LAX has one good thing at least, although safe runway shall be the basic of an airport but not something special to get credit for.
Poor SUV.

When we look at the tiles and the low flow air-con. and the super narrow passages, we should give ten sighs...
SS, when comparing LAX and SUV, safety is the first consideration. So LAX wins for sure. If both are ok with the safety, then we should check their facilities.

That is true.
Thank you SEA.
