the check in booth area on level 2nd (departures)

T3 sits at a whooping 380,000 sqm, dwarfing both T1 and T2

the departure entrance is similar to that of T2, with a 2nd level fly-over entrance for direct vehicular alighting

the whole terminal is luminated purely by sunlight in the day

thanks to a computerised automatic reflector skylight system

theres even a prominent bulk luggage exit point as well.

which is 7 floor high and 300m long!

not to mention how many Tasmanian Tigers & Dodos we can bring back on top of lowering the sea level with the power we save o

hey it's everybody's part for the environment right?

littered along the terminal are large multi-coloured, multi-lingual sign boards

departure UFO - whos your daddy?

finally time to enter the restricted areas!

we see draped sheets!

and lots of them!
