Singapore’s Changi Airport named the world’s best in 2025

Singapore Changi Airport has been voted the best international airport in the world for 2025 at India’s Best Awards, by Travel+Leisure. As per the report, readers' votes ranked Changi highest for overall travel experience, comfort, and facilities among global airports.

Changi Airport stood out for offering more than efficient transit. The airport is known for its sky-lit interiors, indoor gardens, and attractions that turn long layovers into relaxed experiences. Features such as the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, butterfly gardens, and art-filled spaces allow passengers to move through terminals that feel open and calm.

The airport also offers a wide range of dining and shopping options, from local food to international brands. Transit hotels, sleeping pods, and rest areas support travellers on long journeys, while clear layouts and smooth processes help reduce waiting times.

The recognition was announced as part of the 14th edition of India’s Best Awards, which honours leading names in travel and hospitality based on an online voting process. Readers from across the world selected winners across airports, airlines, cruises, hotels, and destinations, making the results a direct reflection of traveller preference.

At India’s Best Awards 2025, T+L highlighted how leading airports now play a larger role in shaping travel memories. Changi Airport was recognised for setting global benchmarks by combining efficiency with comfort and design, making it a destination in itself rather than just a transit point.

The award highlights Singapore Changi Airport’s position as a global leader in air travel, with readers acknowledging its ability to consistently deliver a smooth and enjoyable journey from arrival to departure.
