Taking the Slide Instead of the Stairs
This photo from Singapore’s Changi Airport proves that practicality and fun can go hand in hand—even at an airport. Instead of simply relying on stairs or escalators, travelers here can opt for a massive spiral slide to zip down multiple floors in seconds. It’s a brilliant, slightly absurd solution for weary passengers who just can’t be bothered to walk anymore. At the same time, it injects a bit of childlike joy into a space usually associated with stress, long lines, and tight schedules.
The towering metallic slide twists its way through the airport atrium, making it look more like an amusement park than a transportation hub. It’s hard not to smile at the sight—or wish more airports would follow suit. Whether you’re a kid eager for one last adventure before takeoff or an adult just looking for a creative shortcut, this playful addition offers a welcome break from the usual monotony of air travel. If only it ended in a nap pod instead of the terminal floor!
