Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year. We visited Qatar’s Hamad International and Singapore’s Changi airports to see how they stack up. Between branded experiences and massive art installations, countries are pouring billions into their airports, vying to be named No. 1 in the world.

The pacing on this video feels like she sprinted thru this airport. Even almost ran over a child in that forest area. 😂
Singaporean here. This feels like an advert for the Qatar airport. 😅
The US would never
Felt like this was a video made especially for the top 10% where spending money like water is the norm. Us poor travelers already pay $25 for a Big Mac meal at normal airports, so going to one with an LV or Fendi café means I’ll go hungry on a long layover.
I’m sorry if you need LV chopsticks to eat then you don’t live in this world. Like there are kids starving around the world and you’re using LV chopsticks and glassware as if water tastes different or anyone would even notice if it wasn’t LV. GTFO.
Watching this in January 2026 while America is burning down is just surreal.
Let’s see how long Qataris can throw their money into an airport that is virtually empty most of the time, even in this video I hardly see any walking souls unlike Changi which has tons of real travellers using it… Pure waste of good money desert dwellers 😅
Copycat
Can’t wait to go and enjoy my vacation I planned, right after I get a new haircut.
Nice airport to see
Both are made by Singapore so it’s obvious to see which is the better one
why is she speaking like she doesn’t know what she’s about to say
That was awesome! Thank you so much.
