There is this misconception that airports have to be these big, bland hubs where travelers simply move from one flight to the next. But it doesn’t have to be that way and more than a few airports don’t adhere to that line of thinking.
If you are planning to travel, there are more than a few airports that stand out from the rest of the bunch. Here are some of the most interesting airports the world has to offer.
Changi Airport, Singapore
If you want to experience a truly different airport, what about one that offers lush greenery as far as the eye can see? One of the worst things about airports is how everything feels kind of the same.
At Changi Airport, this is one of the most different airports there is. Gardens, huge ferns, and 100 species of cacti and succulents make it feel like visiting the local botanical garden rather than getting on a flight.
Vancouver International Airport, Canada
While there are plenty of things to do in the massive Vancouver airport, the thing that stands out the most are the pair of giant marine exhibits housed within the facility. One of them is a massive 114,000 liter tank that hosts creatures local to British Columbia.
If that weren’t enough, the airport acts as a gallery for some of the most lauded artists in the nation. It is truly an experience like no other, tying in the best of Vancouver culture for those arriving and departing.
Koh Samui Airport, Thailand
This airport goes in the other direction, offering one of the most beautiful open-air airports that you will ever see. The coast of Thailand is easily visible, providing views like no other.
If that weren’t enough, there is an outside play area for kids while adults can relax and enjoy the views. It will become hard for visitors to board their planes back home as the views can be some of the most breathtaking that anyone could hope to enjoy.
