Airports are not the usual place you think of when you hear about great customer service, smooth security checks, or great shopping; however, there are a few airports that are worth the trip should you be traveling through. We will touch on just a few here, but should you be a world traveler, you may want to research the airports you will be visiting. You may even want to change routes and Air charter in order to take in another great museum or avoid an airport known to be lacking in amenities.
Changi Airport – Singapore ― This airport is amazing. There are gardens, indoor play grounds, snooze chairs, free Wi-Fi, hot tub, swimming pool, over 100 dining opportunities, and more than 300 retail shopping outlets. All this while maintaining pristine bathrooms, sky train connections between terminals, a friendly staff, and various lounge areas. Changi Airport is worth the visit and assures every traveler that they will be treated like royalty. There is even a check and balance system in place to be sure the airport retail costs no more than downtown shopping.
Incheon International Airport – Seoul, South Korea ― This is another remarkable airport. Included here are a golf course, spa, private sleeping rooms, ice rink, casino, indoor gardens, a museum, and food and shopping highlighting the culture. The food is amazing and the hospitality is unmatched. Long layovers are not upsetting in an airport with all these offerings.
Sheremetyevo International Airport – Moscow, Russia ― Although this is not the largest airport in Russia, it is the cleanest and friendliest. They offer banks and a post office along with mother and child rooms, free Wi-Fi, and arrival and departure lounges.

Cancun International Airport – Cancun, Mexico – Margaritas are plentiful and available as soon as you step off the plane. The staff is super friendly and taxi drivers are abundant in order to quickly get you to your vacation or business destination. The welcomes are a warm as the weather.

The restaurants within the airport are first class and the shopping is unmatched too.
Tampa International Airport – Tampa, Florida – Focused on speed and friendly volunteer staff, the Tampa airport is one of the best in the US. The Zip-Trip shuttle is unmatched for efficient transfers and people movers and escalators are abundant to keep the flow of passengers constant.

I haven’t been in any of those airports but i did embarked in few European airports. I really liked Frankfurt’s Airport, really clean, good personnel and the fact that they asked all of my question with no hesitation.

Changi is four times winner in a row for best airport in the world. I think I’d love to visit Singapore just to see what this airport offers.
