The Changi Airport in Singapore is scheduled to open the world's first luxury airport terminal in August. The terminal is the equivalent of a first class cabin on the ground. Fliers can pay an additional fee to gain access to the terminal, where they will be treated to the ultimate travel experience, with people to take care of luggage and procure their boarding passes for them, as well as quickly get travelers through security procedures, sans lines. The CIPs (Commercially Important Persons) will be able to lounge in the terminal's comfortable facilities, spared from having to interact with the ordinary travelers, and when it comes time to board their flight, they can even pay to have a limo drive them onto the tarmac and directly up to the plane. Prices have not yet been fixed for the use of the terminal, which cost $10 million to build. It expects to start off with approximately 50 travelers per day.

changi airport is already pretty fine. The airplane lounges suffice for the individual airlines short layovers. having an extra special lounge for those who spend a bit more on it, when you have those long-ish 10-hour lay overs and want to hold meetings should be a positive.

From the image, it looks that the luxury terminal will be the pacesetter for luxury travel in the future. I am confident that it will be elegant, lavish and luxurious down to the finest of details.
