Changi Airport sends long-layover travelers sightseeing

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Most airports want you trapped buying overpriced duty-free, but Singapore practically forces you to leave. If you have a layover over five hours, Changi deploys free, government-sponsored microtours, essentially functioning as a state-funded kidnapping operation to show off their spectacular Gardens by the Bay before your connecting flight.
