ditzy SG $40000 spent on a naming exercise and Budget Terminal is the best they can come up with? Remember where $280000 went to when the branding exercise was on for Marina Bay? Guess what they finally came up with?
ditzy SG 2000 bucks and a mobile phone for a boy boy who came up with that name. Just one of the 8 entries the comittee had to decide upon. wtf?!?!
Unidentified SG Im afraid the Budget Terminal building consist a team of budget contrator with budget material. Will the roof topple when im sitting on the toilet bowl ?
Gazelle SG when you are leaving T2 toward the city, it will be on your left. you will notice that there is a left turn into the new terminal. Should be able to see it even at night.
Gazelle SG I believe the reason why they choose to call it BUDGET terminal is to make it obvious to visitors (especially first time vistor) that this is a BUDGET terminal and it is different from Changi main terminal, the best airport in the world. for those frequent traveller, you will agree with me that changi is the only airport in the world that is constantly spending money to upgrade its facilites. And I believe the reason is to make Changi a stop over heaven for long haul passengers, so as to encourage passenger to choose a stopover instead of by passing singapore on a non-stop 18 hours flight. PS. was at T2 today, notice that OSIM have set up a free foot massage boot...cool rite?? let hope the do clean it everyday
Gazelle SG dont worry lah, our budget terminal will be clean, efficient and comfortable. Hey you are talking about singapore leh...operator of the best airport in the world..
Båseline SG hehehe. I did a search in Google and found this piece of article There are not that many seats at the terminal either, especially in the passenger holding rooms. Each room can hold 180 people but has fewer than 20 chairs. The rationale is that many budget airlines do not allocate seats, so passengers will end up standing in line anyway to ensure they can be the first to board.
sbst275 SG As far as I am bothered, the place should be cosy yet comfy... I dun mind with lesser chairs as I am stand for an 45 mins bus ride!
fudgester SG How about 'Seabreeze Budget Terminal' or something? It does tells visitors that it's a budget terminal, but it does sound better than plain old 'Budget Terminal', doesn't it?
Gazelle SG pretty obvious our government is not keen in this business isnt it? I was quite surprise that someone actually wrote to the newspaper complaining that there is no aerobridge at budget terminal. Doesnt he knows that many airports in this world doesnt have one either. Senai, Siem Reap, Yangon, just to name a few. And if you are handicap, there is always ground assistant isnt it?
