With all the seat sales and the growing number of destinations, traveling has since become accessible to a lot of people, resulting in runway traffic and airport congestion. Long gone are the times when flying was merely about taking off and landing; these days, airports make or break the experience.

Airports have since risen up to the challenge, vastly improving their facilities and amenities, thus becoming destinations in their own right. Select carriers have also taken it upon themselves to offer something up their sleeves exclusive to their passengers. This month, Zee Lifestyle asks its readers about their favorite airports and lounges, and what makes them soar to new heights.

CHANGI AIRPORT

Singapore

CHANGI AIRPORT

“Changi Airport, Singapore has the best duty free shopping! It’s also not insanely large that one would get lost finding his/her boarding gate. Incheon Airport, Korea has lots of dining options and free cultural activities to help while away those long layovers.” – Joanna Cuenco

“Changi Airport has beautiful interiors, soothing ambient lighting, and comfortable seats. It doesn’t hurt that they have leg massagers that you can use for free while waiting for your flight! Narita Airport is definitely the best place to be if you’re looking for duty free shopping. It has the best goodies the Land of the Rising Sun has to offer, at prices that you just can’t help but give into.” – Sherry Ty Corominas

“I get so tired when traveling because I get sick easily, so it’s important for me that the airport is clean and comfortable. Sleep is more important than food options for me. That said, the best sleep I’ve ever gotten was in Changi Airport. They have a nap room and pay lounges, so even if you’re not flying business class you feel that you are.” – Nicole Cambal

“Changi Airport of course! The Utopia of airports. The Airport of airports. The crown jewel of Singapore.” – Regal Oliva

“Singapore Airport because it looks like a mall.” – @warenjeango

INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

South Korea

INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

“Incheon Airport, Korea, because of their free city tours and showers!” – @itsy0boyej

“Incheon International Airport at KAL.” – @lorrainesion

JFK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

New York

JFK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

“JFK Airport, Terminal 4 because Shake Shack is EVERYTHING.” – Gee Fojas

AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SCHIPHOL

Netherlands

AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SCHIPHOL

“Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is very convenient for passengers to find their way around, and it has a lot of recreational and leisure facilities. Lastly, coffee shops! A lot of coffee shops to choose from.” – Anton Baldemor

ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Abu Dhabi, UAE

ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

“Etihad Airways – they have a buffet that includes traditional Arab food which I really appreciated. Plus, the business class lounge in Abu Dhabi has a killer view of the tarmac.” – Sam Despi

DALLAS/FORT WORTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Texas

DALLAS/FORT WORTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

“Dallas/Fort Worth. As everything is bigger in Texas, I love this airport as it has just about everything. I always have to decide where I want to eat or shop!” – Janine Taylor

ISTANBUL ATATÜRK AIRPORT

Turkey

ISTANBUL ATATÜRK AIRPORT

“The Turkish Airlines lounge in Istanbul is the best one I’ve been in by far. They have a pool table, simulation golf, and a movie theatre with a popcorn machine- among many other things to make your wait a lot more bearable. They say the lounge is bigger than some airports, and that’s probably true.” – Cybill Gayatin-Guynn

ZÜRICH AIRPORT

Switzerland

ZÜRICH AIRPORT

“Zürich Airport is a pristine example of Swiss hospitality and precision. Also, the train plays Alpine sounds. Adorable.” – Cassandra Cuevas

MUNICH AIRPORT

Germany

MUNICH AIRPORT

“Munich Lufthansa Lounge and San Francisco AMEX Centurion Lounge.” – @oging_j

The six local fitspirations who will finally get you moving https://zee.ph/the-six-local-fitspirations-who-will-finally-get-you-moving/ https://zee.ph/the-six-local-fitspirations-who-will-finally-get-you-moving/#respond Tue, 24 May 2016 11:39:10 +0000 http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/?p=11995 We get it: When it comes to working out, #TheStruggleIsReal. Faced with a busy schedule and the fact that you wouldn’t want to sweat even more in this already oppressive heat, it can be quite the challenge to put on your workout gear and head to the gym.

But let’s be real: Excuses, excuses. You know a little exercise never hurt anybody, and when you actually make the time and effort to pick up that dumbbell, you’ll see it’s worthwhile… especially when you see all the #gainz. So, how to finally sign up for that gym membership you’ve been delaying for, oh I don’t know, two years? All it takes is a little bit of inspiration.

Zee Lifestyle rounds up some of the city’s fittest. Scroll through this list, and we bet you’ll be saying #goals in your head at some point.

WHAT HE DOES Regular gym and yoga.

WHAT GOT HIM STARTED Way back before, I used to be part of the badminton varsity team. Well, that says I really love to be fit.

SUPPORTING REGIMEN I don’t know if people would believe that I don’t have any supplements. Coffee is my pre-workout. Also, because of yoga, I’m an oriental vegetarian practitioner to prevent stiffening of the muscles.

WHAT SHE DOES CrossFit, yoga and accessory work like body building

WHAT GOT HER STARTED A desire to be more active. I used to have a very sickly body. I’d stay in bed sometimes because of how weak I was. Before CrossFit, I was 92 pounds and very underweight. Now I’m 105 pounds and I feel better and look better.

SUPPORTING REGIMEN I am on the Zone Diet, in which you measure your carbs, protein and fat, and eat steadily the same amount throughout the day to keep insulin and hormone spikes at bay. The only supplements I take are protein shakes and fish oil.

FITNESS ADVICE Wear something cute! Buy cute training bras that will help liven your mood to work out.

WHAT SHE DOES Crossfit. I also do TRX, yoga and boxing when I get the chance.

WHAT GOT HER STARTED I used to be very sickly growing up. Exercise was the only thing that made me feel better.

SUPPORTING REGIMEN I’ve been on a plant-based whole foods diet for three years now. I always have my protein shake to cap off every workout. I either take Superfood Grocer’s Superforce or Garden of Life’s Raw Meal, and I incorporate Superfoods in my diet like chia, moringa, maca, spirulina and camu-camu.

FITNESS ADVICE Find your WHY. This will continually serve as your motivation when it’s hardest to get out of bed. Also, take time to figure out what’s fun for you and what feels like punishment.
