take it with you? hey, if steven can slide with his, why not you?

Great place if you check in but Changi is not great if you are the one waiting to see a plane off or arrive. Not a lot to do if you already had a meal with loved ones before they leave, and an hour or two before take off just trying to find a good spot to wait is so tedious. There is no viewing platform to see the flight off. There is a small viewing platform for planespotters, but that is not enough. I want the full tearful hanky, plane take-off or landing job - Nothing less is good enough.
I used to spend hours at airports as a child just watching from great viewing platforms in local airports and Narita airport is very well served. An uninterrupted view along a full outdoor viewing platform and an indoor one for bad weather - food and drinks, tables and chairs, take off and landing info - you can take photos of the main runway and they have a flower bed in the background so you can place the planes in context, should this be your hobby. Fantastic! No fun seeing family and friends off from Changi really...plus a very confusing MRT ride for the novice. The times I have had to assist visitors to these shores to change trains to get into town, with luggage. Somehow it is not a good welcome for them. Once checked in though, it is a great airport, I love leaving from Changi!

wow.

didn't notice it when I was there around 3 weeks ago..

though it seems weird

why would they create such things in airport ?
