Leaving for the airport \u2013 how does this make you feel? Some\npeople count it as part of their holiday, others can\u2019t stand it and want to get\nthrough the process of check-in, security and boarding as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to world-wide travel becoming increasingly popular, some\nof the world\u2019s biggest and busiest airports have been, or are being, renovated\nor expanded to cope with the demand of millions of tourists passing through yearly.\n As part of this planning process,\nexciting features are being added to make the airports more efficient and,\nbelieve it or not, enjoyable! We\u2019ve picked our top 5 airports from this years\n\u2018World\u2019s Best Airports\u2019 list, that coincide with our tours, so you can learn a\nbit more about them and enjoy the latest features and technology during your\ntime there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Changi Airport, Singapore<\/strong>. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Undoubtedly the World\u2019s best airport, it now comes complete\nwith a whole new \u2018zen\u2019 area that travellers, tourists and the locals can enjoy.\nJewel Changi Airport is over 135,000 square feet, with 4 functioning terminals hosting\napproximately 7,400 flights each week. The airport is a circle \u2018doughnut\u2019\nshaped building, and the outer edges of each terminal section hold a shopping\ndistrict and restaurant area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When travelling from terminals 1, 2 and 3, you can reach the\nleisure and shopping area within a few minutes walk, and from there you can\nhead over to the new \u2018Jewel\u2019 area. This Zen area\u2019s star attraction is a 40-meter\nwaterfall \u2013 the largest indoor waterfall in the world! Visitors usually hear it\nbefore they see it and it attracts thousands of tourists every year. The\nTopiary walk is not one to be missed, with statues replicating the jungle and\nanimals of the rainforest, it\u2019s certainly a calming and peaceful experience.\nThose travelling from Terminal 4 can reach this area with a short shuttle ride.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The running of this airport is well considered too and amenities\nhave been well thought out, from free Wi-Fi in all areas to free power bank\nrentals (for those that have forgotten to charge their phones!). For those with\nlonger lay-over times they also have an 11 screen IMAX cinema and a beautiful\nfour story garden, Jewel’s Shiseido Forest Valley with walking trails and over 235,000\nsq feet of landscaped beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In consideration of the environment and the future of the world,\ndevelopers have created a water recycling system whereby rain water is\ncollected and used as part of the giant waterfall, as well as driverless\nelectric pods being used to transport customers from the car-park to the\nterminal \u2013 but more on this later! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The canopy mazes, sky nets and discovery slides (yes you read that right, slides!) opened back in July and have proved to be popular additions to the airport for all ages. Why take the elevator down to the arrivals hall when you can slide down?

    2 Daxing Airport, Beijing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The world\u2019s second-largest single building airport terminal, with\nthe nickname \u2018Starfish\u2019 following its unique and modern architectural design,\nis the newest addition to Beijing. It\u2019s opening ceremony took place on 26th<\/sup>\nSeptember 2019, when the first flight landed there at 10:12am making it\nBeijing\u2019s second international airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After almost 5 years of construction, the 1,000,000 square meter\nairport (equivalent to 97 football pitches) has only one terminal servicing all\ninternational and domestic flights. With an expected 70 million passengers in\nits first year, Daxing was designed by architects of the late Zaha Hadid (who\nalso designed the Dongdaemum Design Plaza in Seoul and the Innovation Tower in\nHong Kong) so you canexpect lots of stunning curved and circular architecture,\nalong with innovative design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    Daxing Airport – aka ‘The Starfish’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    With a big future ahead, its believed that Daxing will become the World\u2019s\nBusiest Airport by 2040 as more and more Chinese locals venture further abroad,\nand  with more foreign visitors visiting\nChina, it is estimated that approximately 20 million tonnes of cargo and 100\nmillion passengers will be landing at this very airport in 20 years\u2019 time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, let\u2019s look at the now and the new features involved into\nmaking Daxing airport so revolutionary. Automated facilities are a big addition\nhere, and with one facility in particular reducing the check in process from\nbaggage drop to security to less than 30 minutes! Facial recognition technology\nis used all around the airport to speed up this process, which means no more\nlong queues for immigration and smoother operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whilst the airport may look huge, it has been cleverly designed\nwith an internal infrastructure, meaning that you can walk from the centre of\nthe airport to one of the departure gates in under 8 minutes. You\u2019ll also find\ntwo storey arrival and departure platforms, allowing more passengers to fit\ninto the space of the airport and be processed for arrival or departure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The airport sits 54 kilometres from Tiananmen Square, compared to\nBeijing International airport being just 32km away, however a high speed rail\nservice is set to launch soon, connecting Daxing to Bejing\u2019s West station in 20\nminutes, making it ideal for commuters and travellers alike. Daxing is also\nwell connected to other rail and subway networks into Beijing for those on a\nbudget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Haneda Airport, Tokyo <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Voted \u2018Worlds Cleanest Airport\u2019 you can tell from the moment you\nstep foot in this building that it was built with pride.  Handling over 87 million passengers a year it\nis the third busiest airport in Asia and fifth busiest in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following a renovation and extension in 2010 the airport can\ncomfortably accommodate 90 million passengers a year. Haneda used to host all\nnight time international flights from Toyko, but due to its success, day time\ninternational flights were also added in 2014. Containing a faux market street\nand an exceptional food court, Haneda doesn\u2019t feel like an airport at all. Care\nand consideration is taken to ensure that passengers have a great experience\nwhilst in the airport, even making sure that two of Japans most famous Ramen\nrestaurant chains have outlets there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, this is Japan and the Japanese like things to run\npromptly and smoothly therefore you\u2019ll find yourself not having the time to see\neverything this airport has to offer before being called for your flight \u2013\nHaneda being the most punctual airport in the world of course. Last year 85.6%\nof flights were delivered on time and 87 million passengers pass through, to\nput that into comparison to let\u2019s say London Heathrow who accommodated 80\nmillion passengers last year and delivered 77.1% of flights on time\u2013 it\u2019s a\nstaggering increase. \n\nOne\naspect of this airport that really stands out for us is in the area we all seem\nto dread \u2013 baggage claim. However Haneda\u2019s focus is to achieve luggage from\nplane to passenger in under 10 minutes. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    The futuristic look of Haneda Airport <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Work is underway towards this achievement now and baggage handlers\nare currently testing new engineering in the form of robot body suits and\nenhancements. A mechanism is attached to the legs and lower back of the baggage\nhandler, which takes the weight of the luggage, meaning the handler can carry\nmore at one time and not injure themselves. Infact, the feedback on this is so\ngood that next year arm technology and enhancements will be tested to further\nincrease the speed and productivity of baggage handlers, helping Haneda achieve\ntheir goal of luggage from plane to passenger in 10mins! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. London Heathrow, United Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Surprisingly, our very own Heathrow makes the list with its\nrevolutionary developments and changes over the past few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the Queens Terminal (Terminal 2) re-opening in 2014, this\nhelped boost the airports economy and functionality making it the main airport\nto service London. Heathrow is actually the UKs largest5  single-site work place with 76,000 people\nworking for over 400 businesses across the airport. Despite only having two\nrunways, over 200 destinations are served by Heathrow, 80 of which are\nlong-haul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Skipping up to the present day, Heathrow\u2019s newest Terminal,\nTerminal 5 is open and servicing the public. Known to some as the BA or\n\u2018British Airways Terminal\u2019 any tourists that pass through here are marvelled at\nthe appearance and functionality of the terminal. Undoubtedly the most modern\nof all 5 terminals, Terminal 5 boasts digital self-check in screens, where\npassengers check themselves and their luggage in, to holographic information\nmessages appearing all over the Terminal! It is certainly something to be seen\nwhen travelling from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    London’s Heathrow Airport <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    However, that\u2019s not even the best part \u2013 we mentioned self-driving\npods  in Singapores Changi airport, but\ndid you know that this was available at our very own Heathrow? Terminal 5 hosts\n\u2018Pod Parking\u2019 whereby rather than waiting for transfer buses, which add to\ncongestion and air pollution, you simply board an electric self-driving pod\nwhich takes you from your airport hotel or car park, straight to the terminal. The\njourney lasts no longer than 8 minutes and is an experience for anyone looking\nfor an easy way to get to the airport. To make things even better, the pods are\nactually cheaper than a bus transfer, so what\u2019s not to like!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Heathrow has many plans to improve and extend over the next 5-10 years, so like us \u2013 keep an eye on their website or social media pages to find out the latest. The majority of our tours depart from Heathrow, and if you\u2019re flying with our \u2018preferred Partner\u2019 British Airways, you may even get to experience the wonders of Terminal 5 for yourself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5) Incheon Airport \u2013 Seoul<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Incheon airport is the largest airport in South Korea. It has won\ntitles in the past such as \u2018Worlds Cleanest Airport\u2019\u2013with Haneda Airport in\nJapan snagging this title this year, \u2018World\u2019s best airport\u2019 and \u2018Worlds Best\nInternational Transit Airport\u2019 by Skytrax. There\u2019s no wonder, as this airport\nfeatures its own Golf Course, Spa, Casino, Arcade and museum \u2013 designed for\nthose with longer layover times to be entertained during their visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Much like Haneda. Incheon has a strong focus on baggage handling\nand are proud to boast a 0.0001% baggage mishandle score. Everything is run\nvery strategically and well thought out, this is to ensure punctuality and\ncustomer satisfaction. An average departure takes 19 minutes from the moment\nyou check in, and an average arrival takes 12 minutes from the moment you\ndisembark the aircraft \u2013 making it the fastest airport in the world for customs\nprocessing. To put this into perspective, other Airports have noted times of a\n60 minute departure and a 45 minute arrival, so its certainly something the\nairport and staff should be proud of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Incheon airport opened in 2001, replacing the old Seoul Gimpo Airport. It boasts 3 runways, flying over 68 million passengers each year and 2.9 million tonnes of Cargo. It also has a few rare features \u2013 a helipad and Koi pond! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
