Changi Airport in Singapore has been named the World’s Best Airport by air travelers at the 2015 World Airport Awards, the third consecutive year that the airport has scooped the prize.
Announced on March 11 at Passenger Terminal EXPO in Barcelona, Spain, Changi also received the Best Airport for Leisure Amenities award in recognition of its vast array of unique leisure and entertainment facilities.
Jewel Changi Airport: Set to open in 2018, Jewel will feature a 40m-high indoor waterfall and a five-storey-high indoor garden.
“Changi Airport lives up to its reputation as the world’s best airport and rather than dwell on earlier success, it continues to innovate and concentrate on making the customer experience in the airport environment the most enjoyable,” said Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted in a press release on March 11.
Presently Changi is undertaking a number of significant development projects including Terminal 4 and Jewel Changi Airport, meaning that there will be a lot more features and facilities to look forward to at the airport.
Cozy waiting lounge: Located where the Terminal 1 open-air carpark used to be, Jewel Changi Airport will also feature airport facilities like passenger lounges and check-in counters. The complex will be linked to the three main terminals. 
The World Airport Awards is an annual global airport customer satisfaction survey based on more than 13 million customer nominations across 112 nationalities of air travelers, and includes 550 airports worldwide.
The survey evaluates customer satisfaction across 39 key performance indicators for airport service and product – from check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration, through to departure at the gate.

Yes, E-Wallets are better than cash: How to setup and use e-wallets.

Image
There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present. If a mobile wallet like Paytm is used to its full potential, you will not even need to carry cash, except for some situations. If you think it is an overstatement, keep on reading...

Paddington 2 (2017)

Image
Back in 2014, Paddington came out of absolutely nowhere to become one of my favourite films of the year, a real family treat that was warm, pitch perfect and genuinely laugh out loud funny. As with any great cinematic success these days, a sequel was inevitable, and three years later we have Paddington 2 , a straight forward title that I hoped would stick to the straight forward and satisfying formula that served its predecessor so very well. I’m pleased to report that, although Paddington 2 doesn’t quite manage to replicate the perfect magic of the first in the series, it is still without a doubt one of the best family films of the year. The narrative follows Paddington (Ben Whishaw) as he finds himself in a spot of trouble after being wrongly convicted of stealing a precious book, and his journey is both helped and hindered by a mixture of familiar characters and new additions, all of whom only serve to make the film even more enjoyable. In terms of tone, the fil...
