Changi Hotel, Singapore

Advantages: People, food, shopping, the price.
Disadvantages: Pushy shop owners.

...at arrivals because our baggage hadn't arrived. We'd flown from Japan and had to change planes at Malaysia where we were delayed for two hours. The luggage from the Japanese flight hadn't been loaded onto the plane so when we arrived at Changi Airport at 10 pm we were informed that our luggage would be arriving on the next flight which was due to arrive at midnight. Thankfully we didn't have to wait as the airport staff took the details of our hotel and dropped the luggage off for us. It wasn't a huge problem for us and the staff at the airport were very polite and explained exactly what was happening so nobody really minded. Throughout the airport's arrivals section there are large signs listing the various transport options to your hotel. You have a choice between taxi, minibus or the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) System.

In the end most people had put on all the clothes that they had brought along and it did get warmer eventual. We landed at Changi aiport (http://www.changi.airport.com.sg/) at about 4 pm.

It can be seen on signs as soon as you walk off the plane the moment when you do depart and they wish you a found farewell as the plane departs this fine city. I am not sure what I thought I would expect from Singapore. However, whatever it was did not even compare to what I found in this spectacular city! Upon arriving at the Changi airport, one becomes completely in awe of the airport which supports it's own stopover hotel, free movie theatre and spa! This is not to mention the vast amounts of shops and restaurants. ~Immigration~ On departing the plane, you make your way through the beautiful corridors filled with live plants and flowers of spectacular beauty, to the immigration lines. As the airline had not handed out immigration cards before arrival in Singapore... Read review
