SINGAPORE CHANGI AIRPORT
Singapore
Changi Airport has two terminals. Terminal 2 is noted for its state of
the art construction. A third terminal, even more high-tech than the
others, is now being built. The terminals at SIN
Changi serve a large number of airlines offering both long haul and short
haul flights. They are very well-organised and help the airport win
Business Traveller awards every year. The terminals are equipped with
everything incoming and outgoing passengers may require, including banking
facilities, specialist shops and news-stands. The two terminals are
connected by the Skytrain, a free-to-user transit system with a journey
time of two minutes.
Terminal 1
Singapore Airport Terminal 1 handles flights for more than 20
airlines, including KLM, Continental, Northwest, Qantas, Cathay Pacific,
British Airways, and Japan Airlines.
First class and business lounges are situated on level 3 of Terminal 1, in
the middle of the building next to the viewing hall. Nearby is one of the
airport Internet centres and there is a business centre in the Transit
Hotel on the same level, which offers translation and other services.

Singapore Airport Terminal 2 is the home base for Singapore
Airlines, and also serves Air France, Air New Zealand, Ansett Australia,

Construction work for Terminal 3 commenced in October 2000.

Airport Tax
A passenger
service charge of SGD21 should be incorporated in the air ticket
(including tickets issued outside of Singapore). If this has not been
done, you are required to pay the SGD21 during check-in. Your airline will
absorb the service charge. Passengers who are in transit for less than 24
hours may leave the airport without having to pay the service charge upon
departure from Singapore.
