About every two minutes, an aircraft takes off or lands at Singapore Changi Airport.

The world’s seventh busiest international airport, Changi serves more than 80 airlines, connecting Singapore to about 200 cities in 60 countries and territories. Besides its strong connectivity with Asia and the Southwest Pacific, Changi promises an experience that makes the airport a destination in itself.

Redefining the Airport Experience

At the heart of the airport is what is known as the Changi Experience. Besides speedy and hassle-free immigration clearance, a myriad of facilities, entertainment, shopping and dining options are available, promising an exciting time for passengers.

Those looking for fresh air can take a breather in Changi’s themed gardens, such as the cheery, outdoor Sunflower Garden, or be in close proximity with 1,000 roaming butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. Travelers who need to recharge can go for relaxing spa treatments or catch 40 winks at the transit hotels. There is even a rooftop swimming pool with a gorgeous view of the tarmac.

An array of free entertainment is available ’round the clock. Fancy catching a blockbuster? Visit the movie theatres in Terminals 2 and 3.What about getting thrilled and relaxing at the Entertainment Deck, which offers facilities such as LAN gaming, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and cozy music corners? Passengers in need of connectivity can enjoy airport-wide free WiFi or surf at one of 500 free Internet terminals.

At Changi, there is always something exciting taking place. It could be the opportunity to get up close with celebrities, such as Lady Gaga or renowned golfer Colin Montgomerie, during one of Changi’s regular meet-and-greet sessions. Or it could be a shopping promotion with the possibility of winning $1 million! Those in transit for more than five hours can sign up for free sightseeing tours to catch a glimpse of Singapore’s vibrant garden city.

For shopaholics and gourmet lovers, Changi Airport is the place to be. The retail scene boasts more than 200 shops, offering leading luxury brands, duty-free liquor and cosmetics, electronics and jewelery. Gastronomic delights are aplenty with more than 100 dining establishments serving a variety of local and international cuisines, including Hard Rock Café, the first Guylian Chocolate Café outside Belgium and The Green Market, catering to health conscious travelers.

Embracing Innovation

Changi Airport’s unparalleled airport experience has been recognized with more than 350 Best Airport accolades, including Skytrax’s “Best Airport in The World 2010” award. Terminal 1, the oldest terminal, is being upgraded and will feature a “Tropical City” to provide a warm, familiar and welcoming ambience for visitors.

Changi Airport is constantly innovating to meet the changing needs of travelers. Changi will continue to focus on serving an unforgettable fun and exciting experience that encompasses seamless, efficient operations; friendly, personalized service; and cutting-edge terminal facilities that augment the entire airport experience.

Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina

Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review

Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
