If you’re someone who hates killing time at airports, we've found a silver lining for you. Whether it's a long layover or a dreaded delay, here are the little perks that will (almost) make up for all that wasted time:
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)
Shopping at the Delhi airport is not only a great way to pass time but also a profitable one because hello, amazing duty-free deals! But who wants the hassle of carrying extra luggage on the flight? Well, next time, go crazy because there's a Shop and Collect facility which will take care of all your new goods until your return: for free!
Changi Airport
When it comes to airport recreation, Changi is a gift that keeps on giving. From free city tours to a ride on the world's tallest (a whooping 39ft) indoor airport slide, there's never a dull moment at world's best airport. Flash your boarding pass at Terminal 3's Long Bar by Raffles to score a complimentary cocktail or indulge in free whiskey tastings of over a 100 varieties at The Whiskey House at Terminal 2.
Heathrow Airport (LHR)
Travelling with kids? Several restaurants at London's Heathrow Airport offer a
free meal for kids with every adult meal purchased. While most restaurants give this deal on specific dates, some (including Gordon Ramsay Plane Food) have the offer going on round the year. Click
here for the complete list.
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM)
Sign up for a free tour of the Jaya He GVK Museum at Terminal 2 of the Mumbai airport and get a taste of India's rich culture and heritage. The 15-minute art-walk has on display over 7000 Indian artefacts dated between the 8th and the 19th century. Make sure you
book the tour online at least 48 hours before your flight's departure time.
