World's best airport for 2025 revealed
The South-East Asian airport is renowned for its unrivalled passenger experiences boasting a waterfall, canopy park, rock climbing and butterfly garden.
Its innovative amenities, extensive dining range and unique hotel offerings all form part of what makes this airport a standout.
And it's no wonder why it has won the prestigious Skytrax Award 13 times, having reclaimed the top spot from Doha's Hamad International Airport (2024), which moves down to second.
'Changi Airport is honoured to be named by Skytrax as the World's Best Airport for the 13th time,' Yam Kum Weng, CEO of Changi Airport Group said.
'It is indeed gratifying to receive this recognition, and this certainly encourages us to continue to strive to provide the best travel experience. We thank all our passengers for their vote of confidence.

Rounding out the top 10 is Tokyo Haneda in third place, followed by Seoul Incheon, Tokyo Narita, Hong Kong, Paris CDG, Rome Fiumicino, Munich and Zurich.
Dubai, often praised for its airport, just missed out – coming it at 11th.
The World Airport Awards began in 1999, when Skytrax launched its first global, Airport customer satisfaction survey.
'They are regarded as a quality benchmark for the world airport industry, assessing customer service and facilities across over 500 airports,' it states on the Skytrax site.
'There is no entry fee or any type of payment by an airport (or other third party) to be included in the survey or awards, with the survey and awards process fully funded by Skytrax.'

Singapore Changi Airport received other major awards including World's Best Airport Dining and the World's Best Airport Washrooms (bathrooms).
When it came to Australian airports, Melbourne missed out of the top 10, coming in at 16, followed by Brisbane in 35th and Sydney half way down the list at 54th.
Perth and Adelaide ranked 63rd and 68th, respectively, while the Gold Coast sat towards the bottom at 74th.
For the Best Regional Airports in Australia/Pacific 2025, Adelaide took the top gong, followed by the Gold Coast, Christchurch, Cairns and Darwin.
Meanwhile, Tokyo Haneda came first for having the world's cleanest airport, followed by Singapore Changi, Doha Hamad, Seoul Incheon and Hong Kong.
When it comes to world's best shopping, Doha Hamad took out the top spot with Singapore Changi closely behind. London Heathrow came third.

'Hell-bent on trying to give him time': The Australians going overseas for cancer trials
From cosmetic fixes to life-saving surgery, Insight hears from people who have turned to medical tourism. Is it always worth it, and what happens when things go wrong, far from home? Watch Insight episode Medical Tourism Tuesday 29 July at 8.30pm on SBS or live on SBS On Demand . When Hannah Thomas, 32, received a phone call following a routine blood test, she did not expect it would lead to a cancer diagnosis that same week. In 2022, Hannah was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, where there's an overproduction of immature white blood cells. She was immediately admitted to hospital and underwent chemotherapy five days a week for two months. The chemotherapy did not work but following other treatments, including a bone marrow transplant , Hannah had no traces of cancer in her body a year later. However, shortly after Hannah married in 2023, the cancer came back. She and her husband, Simon, met with Hannah's haematologist and were introduced to the concept of CAR T-cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy that uses a patient's own genetically modified T-cells (a type of white blood cell). This experimental cancer treatment is offered in Australia for the more common B-cell type of ALL but is not currently offered as standard treatment for T-cell ALL. But Hannah didn't qualify for the clinical trials in Melbourne and London, so she and Simon decided to seek the treatment in Singapore. Hannah and Simon married in 2023, shortly before her cancer came back. Source: Supplied The Sydney couple had less than 24 hours to figure out how they were going to pay for the costs of the trial and accommodation, which they estimated to be around $400,000. The couple immediately investigated loans and started the application process to withdraw their superannuation. "In the end, the only reason we were able to catch that flight and go there was because one of our closest friends Dan set up a GoFundMe for us," Hannah told Insight. "Though it's hard not to feel a bit guilty. And I think it's only natural to wonder if you're worthy of all that." Seeking options abroad Like Hannah and Simon, Dianne Mehmet turned to Asia for experimental cancer treatment when options in Australia became limited. Dianne's son Jordan had just finished high school in 2013 when he was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma — a rare, aggressive cancerous tumour that affects bones and soft tissue. The 18-year-old went through three years of intensive treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery to remove tumours in his body. However, his condition worsened. Feeling like there was nothing more their medical team could do in Australia, Dianne was desperate to take her son anywhere that might give him a chance to live longer. "With Ewing sarcoma, most people do not live past five years … but I just was hell-bent on trying to give him time," Dianne said. Dianne took her son Jordan to China for experimental cancer treatment. Source: Supplied After hearing about a friend's positive experience, Dianne took Jordan to China in 2016, where he continued conventional treatment for cancer but with the addition of natural therapy. To afford the cost of overseas accommodation and the $100,000 treatment, Dianne remortgaged the family home and crowdfunded with support from their local community. "I didn't want Jordan to think for one more minute, 'What am I going to do?' and have it hanging over his head." Medical tourism's rising popularity Nine years on from when Dianne and Jordan sought treatment overseas, medical tourism continues to grow in popularity. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, roughly 15,000 Australians went on self-funded medical tourism trips each year, according to a 2022 Victoria University thesis. Cosmetic surgery, dentistry, heart surgery, fertility treatments, gender-affirming surgery, stem-cell therapy and cancer treatments are the most common medical reasons Australians go abroad. "We have a world-class health system in Australia, but it can't do everything for everyone at all times," Dr Michael Bonning told Insight. The general physician and Australian Medical Association (NSW) president says that, in addition to the unavailability of certain treatments in Australia, saving money also motivates many to participate in medical tourism. "Sometimes it is because of access; we just don't do some of these procedures. And the second part is sometimes because of cost." But seeking treatment overseas is riskier than sticking with Australia's highly regulated health system, he warns. "When you go overseas, you open yourself up to other challenges [such as] language barriers. Sometimes we also see the standards of care are not the same as we would expect here." The cost and personal toll of travel were two other factors people considering medical tourism should take into account, he added. 'A single purpose' Hannah and Simon lived in Singapore for five months while Hannah participated in the clinical trial. They celebrated Christmas, New Year and Hannah's 32nd birthday while she was in hospital. Simon said that there were many dark times for him during those five months but "obviously nothing compared to what Hannah was going through". "What made it simple for me was having a single purpose ... to look after Hannah, make sure she was comfortable and got the treatment that she needed," Simon said. "And ultimately to get her better and bring her back." Hannah received treatment at a Singapore hospital. Source: Supplied Upon completion of the trial, Hannah was discharged with no detectable cancer cells. They returned to Sydney where, after a second bone marrow transplant, the good news was confirmed again. "I'm in remission and I have been for the last 15 months, but I say that with caution because we still have tests every eight weeks … to check and see if the cancer is coming back." The impact of overseas treatment For Dianne's son Jordan, things appeared to be improving with the "amazing" Chinese medical team working with him. "He was going very well at the start … he felt 100 per cent supported." However, Jordan started to behave unusually towards the end of their three-month stay. Doctors then discovered he had brain swelling due to a growing tumour. After emergency surgery and changes to his treatment while in operation recovery, Jordan's cancer continued to metastasise. Although overseas treatment didn't wholly work for Jordan, Dianne doesn't regret her attempt to give her son a longer life. Source: Supplied The family returned home to Melbourne in October 2016 where Jordan died three months later at the age of 22. Dianne says she would have liked for all of Jordan's treatment to have taken place in Australia if more could have been done to save her son. "If you have to travel overseas for treatment, your life is disrupted in so many ways. And it's not just you, it's the impact on your family [and] your friends," she says. "You're living in a place where you don't speak the language, you're totally out of your comfort zone. You can't have all your support there." Although the treatment did not wholly work for Jordan, Dianne does not regret taking him overseas for experimental treatment. "He was happy, and he always had hope. "I wanted him to have hope right up till the last minute."

Aussie mum among 300-plus passengers asked to hand over passports in Thailand as flights cancelled
An Aussie traveller briefly stranded in Thailand has shared the horrifying experience of being one of more than 300 passengers who had their passports taken away from them. But the reason why is far from a sinister one. Australian mum blogger Ramya left Sydney for Thailand on holiday with her two young children in early July, flying with Qantas. But after checking in at Bangkok airport for the family's return flight, Ramya noticed the plane was instead one from Finnair as opposed to Qantas. After being delayed every half-hour for seven hours, the flight was cancelled, sending passengers into panic. The mum of two uploaded a video showing what transpired next, as hundreds of concerned and confused passengers were left in limbo with airport crew trying to guide them. One worker in the video could be seen telling a passenger to place his passport in a cardboard box, before the clip cut to the box showing a stack of passports and boarding passes piled up. 'Last night 300-plus people got their passports taken away from Qantas airlines when their flight was cancelled,' her post read. 'Apparently keeping your passport is an immigration concern in Thailand when your international flight is cancelled. It's been 18 hours and we still don't know when we will leave. It could be tonight or in 2-3 days.' The video went viral with more than two million views and 115k likes, as plenty weighed in. 'Never hand your passport over for nothing,' one user commented. 'I could NEVER, that's the one piece of ID that gets you home, imagine they misplaced that box?!' another added. However, others who claimed to have been in similar situations looked to help clarify the experience, explaining that because passengers were already on the plane, it was a standard protocol to process and transfer everyone back to land. 'So basically, processing everyone back into Thailand to organise visa's if required for re-entry, in the case that they're looking at sorting accommodation and new flights for everyone,' one user suggested. As a passenger service agent confirmed this was the case. 'We do that for you when we have a lot of passengers to process, we have all your information without having to ask you again,' Anthony Gle explained. 'We can use your passeport's (sic) information to put you on other flights through other countries cause sometimes you'd need visas for those we have a lot to do (to) put you on other flights and getting your passport is just making the whole thing quicker for us and also for you to get new flights.' Ramya posted a follow-up confirming she and her kids were put up in a hotel overnight and were due to fly out the day after the ordeal, but hadn't been given back their passports until arriving back at the airport. Aboard a rescheduled Qantas flight, the mother of two posted an update in their business class seats, seemingly in better spirits and on the way back to Australia.

Australian passport losing its power compared to many other nations
Australia has fallen from sixth to seventh place in the latest Henley Passport Index, trailing countries such as Singapore, New Zealand and the UK. The Henley Passport Index ranks passports according to the number of places travellers can enter without a visa or with visa-on-arrival access. Australia now shares seventh place with Czechia, Hungary, Malta and Poland. Singapore is the world's most powerful passport, with visa-free access to 193 destinations out of 227. Japan and South Korea are in equal second place, each giving citizens access to 190 destinations visa-free. Seven countries are in third place including France, Germany, Ireland and Italy. They have access to 189 destinations. In fourth place there are also seven countries including Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Portugal. They have visa-free entry to 188 destinations. New Zealand is in fifth spot, along with Switzerland, while the UK is in sixth place. The US has slipped to 10th place and is close to falling out of the top 10 for the first time since the index began almost 20 years ago. Afghanistan remains at the bottom of the list, with its citizens able to access just 25 destinations without a prior visa. Australians are still able to enter many countries without needing a visa beforehand. The data shows a general global shift towards more openness, mobility and passport strength. Over the past decade, more than 80 passports have climbed at least 10 places, and the global average number of destinations travellers can access visa-free has almost doubled from 58 in 2006 to 109 in 2025. Notably, China has climbed 34 places from 94th to 60th since 2015. China has granted visa-free access to more than a dozen new passports since January, bringing its total to 75. These include Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Henley and Partners chief executive Juerg Steffen said Americans were leading the demand worldwide for alternative residence and citizenship options, with British nationals also among the top five. 'As the US and UK adopt increasingly inward-looking policies, we're witnessing a marked rise in interest from their citizens seeking greater global access and security,' he said. 'Your passport is no longer just a travel document – it's a reflection of your country's diplomatic influence and international relationships.
