not so much on KLIA, only once on transit to melbourne, i must
say it's not that bad an experience...
u may be right, the problem with changi may actually lies with
me...see, i live here, so my frequent trips out of singapore is
`measured' in terms of timing. i dun want to be there early and
waste my time there. i can get into changi, check in, change money
and get into the gates for my flight out, all within a reasonably
good, predictable time. the efficiency @ changi unfortunately has a
downside in this case. we dun go early to buffer for any
delay...and the stuff there doesn't really interest me. if i am
early, i just hang out in the lounge.
overseas, becos i dun want to miss my flight home, i need to be
there early, and again, in most cases, i hang out at the kris flyer
lounge. unless it is an airport i have not been b4, i dun loiter
around. sometimes, everything that's orderly is not necessarily
good (e.g. T2 @narita is so sanitarily clean that i cld pass it as
off a hospital). for instance, i enjoyed the `mess' in the airport
in barcelona, partly becos there is no kris flyer lounge for me to
hang out (maybe now yes since SQ flies there now), i like the buzz
there; visiting rival football fans making a ruckus there, eclectic
mix of ppl there, etc.
maybe i will take your advise and smell the roses @ changi for my
next trip out, which is early april....
