Passengers can also head to the two-storey Lotte Duty-Free Wine<\/span> and Spirits\u00a0store, which has a robot bartender to serve you underneath a "moon" created by LED lights.<\/p>\n

Passengers can also head to the upper lounge Forest of Li Bai with 18 types of whiskey, or dine at the Gourmet Garden with classic Singapore dishes.<\/p>\n

Changi Airport currently welcomes 90million passenger per year, with the new renovation expected to bring another 5million.<\/p>\n

It was named the best airport in the world by SkyTrax for eight years in a row – although lost out in 2021 and 2022 during the pandemic<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It has since been named the best again in the 2023 Skytrax Awards.<\/p>\n

The airport is home to some of the best amenities for passengers, including a huge cinema and sports arena, which were added in 1998.<\/p>\n

And it built the first transit-side swimming pool in the world in 1995.<\/p>\n

The airport opened their new Terminal 4 in 2017, which included new facial scanning systems and drone play areas.<\/p>\n

This was followed by the huge 135,700sqm lifestyle hub Jewel at Singapore Changi Airport in 2019.<\/p>\n

Connecting all the terminals, inside are hundreds of shops, restaurants, and a forest.<\/p>\n

A huge slide, hedge maze, butterfly garden home to over 1,000 tropical butterflies and forest walkway are also found at the airport.<\/p>\n

If you can't quite go as far as Singapore, a huge \u00a37billion airport could soon open in Europe, with hopes to start flights from 2028.<\/p>\n

Warsaw\u00a0Solidarity Airport, also known as Central Communication Port, hopes to start construction by the end of the year, and could rival Heathrow and Dubai for long haul flights.<\/p>\n
