Changi, home to the world’s largest indoor waterfall, was named the least stressful airport in the world, according to a survey doned by iSelect, an Australian-based travel insurance comparison company.
The airport earned an impressive 82.07 out of 100 in a survey of 50 major airports worldwide, which evaluated factors such as flight delays and cancellations, check-in and security wait times, ease of access, and baggage-claim convenience.
Changi scored high in all areas, especially immigration and customs, security check, and check-in wait times.
The airport features automated check-in counters and biometric authentication to speed up immigration procedures. It recently became one of the first airports in the world to offer passport-free immigration clearance at all terminals, allowing travelers to clear immigration in as little time as 10 seconds.
Doha’s Hamad International Airport came in second with a score of 75.89, followed by Seoul’s Incheon International Airport.
Newark Liberty International in New Jersey, in the U.S. was named the most stressful.
