Flights often mean risky security, long layovers and unexpected delays, which can sometimes make for unpleasant travel experiences. Still, your airport journey doesn’t always have to be terrible. Here are some cool airports that will make you forget about all your travel baggage:
Hamad International Airport, Qatar
This $16-billion airport screams luxury. It features a 25-metre-long swimming pool. The airport is also equipped with quiet rooms, ideal for passengers seeking a pre-flight snooze. There is a giant dinosaur robot and a 23-foot-tall Urs Fischer sculpture of a yellow teddy bear.
Changi Airport, Singapore
If you didn’t get enough shopping done during your trip, then Changi Airport is the perfect place for you. There are over 300 retail stores available and two movies theatres — free of charge — for you to take advantage of. There’s also a fascinating butterfly garden. Here, you can find a rainforest-themed garden with about 1,000 butterflies surrounded by flowering plants and a six-metre grotto waterfall.
Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fly a plane? If you have, then head over to the Aviation Discovery Centre and hop on the plane cabin simulator. This ride allows passengers to see what it’s like to actually fly a plane. Pretty cool if you’re about to board a real flight in a couple of hours.

Marble Caves
Located in the center of Lake General Carrera, the Marble Caves in Chico, Chile, are only accessible by boat. The surrounding crystal clear waters allow visitors to see the rock formations beneath them while the rock ceilings above change color(depending on the writer levels and the season).

This cave is unique for its brilliant blue light which comes from two sources: the entrance to the cave and a bigger hole beneath the entrance. When viewed from inside the cave, the entrance appears as a brilliant white light just above the waterline, while the underwater hole, which is the larger source of light, provides a blue light.

They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. And, 18 often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. When you work with happiness and 19 , a job will be well done. I believe there is 20 in any job if you work hard and try your best.
