Who said that an airport has to be just a transit place, boring and unattractive?
Here are the five best airports where work as an airport employee and where any long waits between flights are never a waste of time.
Hong Kong
(IATA code: HKG)
The former British colony, which has always been a crossroads of trade, a meeting point between West and East, has one of the three best airports in the world, according to Skytrax, which awarded it the highest rating.
For a stopover it is obviously one of the most interesting and professional places in which to work. To brighten the life of the almost 60 million passengers that pass through its gates every year there are a monumental arcade, an IMAX cinema, the Aviation Discovery Center and even
a 9-hole golf course, open 24 hours a day, where you can rent equipment, clothing and, if necessary, an instructor.
Vancouver
(IATA code: YVR)
An airport with an oceanarium inside: in the Vancouver airport there is this, and more. More than 5,000 marine creatures in over 30,000 liters of water, with a tank reserved only for jellyfish. A majestic spectacle that will distract you from the daily grind and that together with the other attraction of the airport, the reconstruction of Chester Johnson Park, makes the Canadian airport the most naturist airport on the planet.
Singapore
(IATA code: SIN)
Considered by many the top airport in the world, has such a list of attractions and comfort zones that it deserves a monographic article. Let's go in no particular order: the butterfly garden, a rooftop pool open 24 hours a day, a four-story covered toboggan, various free cinemas for transit passengers, 300 shops, a cinema, a supermarket, a room dedicated to sleep , interactive art installations, a fitness center, a clinic, an orchid plantation.
San Francisco
(IATA code: SFO)
There are four highlights of this airport: the yoga room, the meditation room, the aviation museum and the "Wag Brigade" (the tail wagging brigade) a real pet therapy activity for the benefit of travelers, carried out by 9 dogs (with a companion) who walk in the gate area wearing jackets on which a clear invitation is written: pet me (caress me ).
Munich
(IATA code: MUC)
This is the dream airport for beer lovers. In keeping with the Bavarian brewing tradition the Munich airport hosts an authentic craft brewery baptized Airbräu, which works according to the rules established by the Edict of Purity of 1516 and has a respectable production, with four labels of various styles. How to say: dear airport clerk, at the end of the shift why don't you come and make yourself a double malt? This is a workplace!
