The Best Airports in the World

#1 – Changi Airport, Singapore

An airport with a slide? Check. An airport with the world’s tallest airport slide? I’m there.
Highlights include: the airport slide (obviously), forest-themed playground, arcade games, rooftop swimming pool, wellness oasis, cactus garden, sunflower garden, and SO much more.

#2 – Incheon International Airport, South Korea

You can get a peek into Korean culture without even leaving the airport if you have a stopover in Incheon. Oh! And they also have a 0.0001% baggage mishandling rate. AKA no, it will not happen to you here.
Highlights include: a day spa, an ice link, a cinema, and a concert hall.

#3 – Munich Airport

As a major hub for Lufthansa and Star Alliance airlines, chances are you may score a stopover in Munich Airport at some point on your travels. Wondering what to do? We’ve got you covered.
Highlights include: a day spa; nightflight bar; audi forum; Brants barber shop.

#4 – Hong Kong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport will give you more of an education on a layover than you ever recall from school.
Highlights include: Exhibition Central — shark exhibition; Bruce Lee exhibition; Cantonese Opera exhibition; Childhood memories exhibition…

#5 – Tokyo International Haneda

Because where else in the world can you have sushi for breakfast and get away with it?
Highlights include: Eating sushi at 5:00am, 6:00am, or 7:00am… no really.

#6 – Zurich Airport

A central European hub like Zurich Airport is sure to have some perks, right?
Highlights include: While comfortable and clean, there aren’t too many perks to Zurich Airport. If you can, try escape to the city for a look around – its totally worth it.

#7 – Central Japan International

Another great excuse to eat sushi for breakfast.
Highlights include: sushi, yeah?

#8 – London Heathrow

Heathrow is busy. It is many things, but it is always busy. Patience needed.
Highlights include: Free beauty sessions in all terminals are a plus!

#9 – Amsterdam Schipol

An airport that hosts weddings? Move over Vegas!
Highlights include: Holland Casino; Rijksmuseum airport edn.

#10 – Beijing Capital

Any excuse for Chinese dumplings.
