Attention passengers, those flying on Aircraft BNE405 to Los Angeles, your flight is currently delayed. Every traveler has heard those words at least once throughout their life. Your mind flashes to what the next few hours might entail. A $10 bag of Peanut M&M’s, perhaps a stale egg sandwich,cramped and uncomfortable seats and the best? Restless children? For those in transit, this is a conceivable reality … unless you are in one of these five utterly amazing airports.

Gordon Ramsay’s Plane Food restaurant – watch the chefs in their element, whipping up fresh cod and gnocchi through a glass-enclosed kitchen. Tip: Those looking to buy in Duty Free, head to the Heathrow website before you go to scoop up one of the many special offers available to flyers.
Changi Airport, Singapore
If there’s one word to describe Changi Airport, it’s enchanting. This airport is for the child in all of us. Don’t worry, no one’s judging you as you glide down a 40-ft slide in your business suit. Nor does anyone care that you’re frolicking in the butterfly farm, because they are all doing the same. Take a breather in one of Changi’s nature gardens, catch some Z’s in their napping areas or rainforest lounge, or freshen up in the showers and day spa. The facilities are endless with entertainment lounges, music bars, swimming pools and free movie theatres.

Incheon International Airport,
Seoul Entertainment is the key word at Incheon International Airport. Two movie theatres playing Korean and Hollywood blockbusters, an ice skating rink for the adrenaline seekers, an 18-hole mini-golf course are just some of the ways travelers enjoy their time in transit.

Massages, dry cleaning, free showers and free Wi-Fi are also on the long list of amenities available at Incheon International Airport.
The Munich Airport, Munich
While most airports aren’t known for being cheap or delicious, The Munich Airport is exactly that. It’s the only airport in the world that has its own brewery and it’s so good that even Müncheners go out to the airport just to pay it a visit. For those sick of falling asleep on benches, Munich has sleeping pods called Napcabs. These ingenious hideaway’s feature a small couchette, a flat-screen TV, desk and internet connection.
Hong Kong International Airport
To round up our top five, Hong Kong International, the world’s best airport for two years running, really packs a punch. Located on the man-made island of Hong Kong Harbour, all the business and work facilities you could ever want or need are at your demand, but it’s the extras that will really keep you happy. HKIA has the world’s first IMAX theatre, an iSports simulator for car racing and basketball and an outdoor nine-hole golf course. Amongst the entertainment, you can seduce your tastebuds at HKIA’s Michelin star restaurants or try authentic cuisine at your favourite outpost.
