Singapore’s Changi Airport typically tops the list of world’s best airports thanks to a swimming pool, movie theater, and countless other unheard of accoutrements.

Designed by Foster and Partners in 1998, the airport was built in a vast reclamation program and sits nestled among Hong Kong’s verdant hills. Large, open windows allow for natural light, and perfectly frame the liveries of airlines from around the world.
