Singapore versus the rest of the Asia and the world

Singapore is an aviation anomaly.

This small island state manages boasts one of the best airlines in the world in terms of quality and value for money as well as an internationally renowned airport.

In-flight passengers benefit from attentive and polite trolley dollies and the reassurance that comes from flying in aircraft which are less than a decade old.

At Changi the officials are welcoming, the airport is well laid out and the government even provides free mini-island tours for passengers who are in-transit and have a few hours to kill.

In the fight for the title of regional aviation hub Singapore beats Kuala Lumpur and Suvarnabhumi hands down.
