World's first airport-only vacation package includes four Asian hubs

Skift Take

These four airports are an aviation geek's dream destination, and the only downside to this trip is the small amount of time you get to spend in each hub.

A unique new holiday package has been launched that consists only of airports. Drawing on the array of attractions now present at many of the world's major airports, the tour - a world first - lets passengers visit four such sites: Incheon International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport.

Lasting two days, this first-time ‘airports-only' tour was the brainchild of Tom Merkli, whose inspiration was aviation research firm Skytrax's 2012 World Airport Awards. Working in partnership with OutTrippin.com, Merkli put together a package linking up each airport's best features.
