I am normally quite a price-sensitive consumer. That is, I do the legwork to minimise what I pay. Brand loyalty? Bah. I’ll go with whoever offers me the better deal.
But I have discovered that airport transits are such a waste of time that I would pay an extra few hundred dollars to avoid hours of waiting at airports.
I’m in transit at Singapore airport. As airports go, this one’s pretty good. Free internet access for one thing. Lots of shops open, even though it’s the middle of the night. Excellent signage. Free reading material. Plants and fountains. Perfect climate control. Mag wheels, central locking and seven CD/MP3 stacker. Airport of the year.
See you soon, Damo!
A few hundred dollars will occupy me at a bookstore for quite a while. So long, in fact, that my plane would depart before I even have time to read any of my purchases. 🙂
I agree that Singapore airport is pretty good. In fact, I think of all the airports I’ve seen (not that I’ve seen that many), it’s the nicest one.
I love Singapore airport. It bigger than some of Perth’s shopping centre. :O
