« Saturday
aka the "OMG why isn't my flight here yet?" - place
and here we are at the transit holding area
here we go past many of the many few security checkpoints
noticeboard rules for those who get a kick from reading all these...
The B1 and B4 gates are few of the 8 specially built aerogates for the airbus A380
the holding area gates we enter!
more of the largely unfinished Duty Free shopping area
and heres 8 of them already!
theres a total of 580 plasma screens used throughout the terminal
one of the few plasma walls
yup we are right! & free movies??
this should lead us to the 4 star transit hotel
next off to the transit area!
whos your daddy?
natural shade to go with natural lighting! perfect!
not to mention trees which grow right off the floor!
some of the fancy floorwork around the area
which occupants have yet to mount, evolve and be delivered over...
here is the butterfly garden
with mainly... a-hem, SIA as the only occupants.
the T3 run and taxi-way are already in operation
note the same looming skylight over here too
another overview of the koi pond area
not to mention the little ones alike
the place is a great place for families
people not included!
the koi bridge to go with a koi pond!
with lots of s p a c e between gates, much bigger than what I've seen built for 747s
Here we have few of the A380 super jumbo ready (TM) gating platforms aka aerogates on the B gates
More shots of the invisible-koi pond area
the children ate the fishes!
this area is kept cool in the afternoon with lots of sun visors
here's the koi pond area, minus the kois who yet to move in that is!
for removing a bubblewrap? a fine city indeed! Tear it off! tear it off!
there will be tons of R&R TVs, sofas, not to mention lots of free internet access stations for ya geeknerds
the the dismay of aunties all around, looks like no one can do much shopping today!
more arrows which points everywhere, anywhere
...quite sometime to reach...
though it still took...
the A gates are freaking long to walk you need to talk a skytrain to the end!, the B gates though, are humanely nearer
mind the sawdust yet, thou...
here is the crossroad lounge area, with lots of wi-fi in the air, cable TV and many places to blow your money.
it seems that the skylight is everywhere!
everybody have your passports stamped?
more gold fish blowers after the departures
when open the central crossroad here will house 40 F&B & 20 service outlets, all lined throughout the area
our good ol' ICA in proud glory!
(please remove cover) the passport scanning machines wants out!
here we have the same ICA biometric passport scanner gantries for passport and access card holders.
and lots of them!
