Singapore's 3rd Airport Terminal Addition Whole terminal tour of the Singapore Airport Terminal 3, (including transit areas) on November 19, 2007 before the Jan 2008 opening.
- boarding passes check!
- littered along the terminal are large multi-coloured, multi-lingual sign boards
- ...quite sometime to reach...
- note the same looming skylight over here too
- the holding area gates we enter!
- wait till u take a bite off it!
- more moments of zen...
- view from the counters, imagine see a horde/swarm of people coming towards you here when a A380 is emptied
- another finger happy shot!
- happy spaces for people with flags and ply cards!
- mmm spacey airlock wrapgates... I like!
- the skytrains run mainly on rubber wheels, with guidewheels enclosed by concrete walls
- off the the departures we go!
- departure UFO - whos your daddy?
- more arrows which points everywhere, anywhere
- the T3 run and taxi-way are already in operation
- The B1 and B4 gates are few of the 8 specially built aerogates for the airbus A380
- few of the cushiony jumpy curvy seaties!
- note the travellators here are little more well fed and bigger (wider)
- another overview of the immigration area
- heres where your baggage will decide to U-turn back into the kitchen for a sushi plate refill, sakae sushi style
- out at the arrival public area we have food & mainly tourist information booths
- the MRT station/linkway also now serves as an underpass
- as you can see, no metal rails
- Welcome to Singapore's Airport Terminal 3!
- weg ot caught up with a brief of the scaled model of T3 floorplan showing the key terminal location and facilities
- finally time to enter the restricted areas!
- the the dismay of aunties all around, looks like no one can do much shopping today!
- with mainly... a-hem, SIA as the only occupants.
- noticeboard rules for those who get a kick from reading all these...
- lined throughout are also these spill-resistant back-bendy designer-looking seats
- the demo skytrain in operation
- another moment of zen with the cool umm green wall!
- note how vast the place is, not to mention a 7 floor skylit ceiling!
- this long arrival walkway runs the whole length of the first floor
- linking T2 and T3 together!
- so the trains travel like giant Tamiya race cars in contained tracks in a mechanical layman sense
- Here we enter the twitlight zone from below...
- here we are the twilight departure wrap gate, but...
- we see draped sheets!
- there will be tons of R&R TVs, sofas, not to mention lots of free internet access stations for ya geeknerds
- here is the butterfly garden
- here we go past many of the many few security checkpoints
- few more facts of the day! huurr!
- these 2 platforms within the transit area will serve the long B gates.
- here is one end of the green wall
- I kinda like how this picture came out
- here we have snaking taxi queues which can be double up for hello kitty queuing as well!
- and here we are at good 'ol T2
- An unobstructed dignified view of the good 'ol control tower
