Behind the Scenes at Changi T3

Many a weary traveler has passed through the massive Changi Airport in Singapore, usually during a transfer to yet another flight. But there are definitely worse airports to transit through, and we've always found Changi Airport both clean and inviting, and with enough entertainment to keep us occupied for even a long layover. But even the coolest airports are still airports, right?

Enter Changi's new weapon: Terminal 3. "T3" as they're calling it is planned to add an additional capacity of 22 million passengers per year, and while it's not yet up and running, it's open to the public for tours.

Until December 9, you can walk through the public areas for free (check out the funky ceilings), or pay a small fee for either a self-guided or tour-guided twirl around the restricted areas. There are even museum-style displays talking about the building and design process. Checking out T3 before it opens might be your chance to actually enjoy an airport terminal.
