Airports are not my favourite place - even the ones that look like shopping malls. Having said that, there are some I don’t mind being stranded in while waiting for a connecting or delayed flight.
And our friends at Vision Travel Solutions reminded us that some airports can be downright interesting thanks to the unique features they offer.
Here’s a few we like and the reasons why:
 
SEA LIFE AT VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL: British Columbia's vibrant underwater ecosystem takes centre stage at Canada's second busiest airport. The International Terminal houses two satellite Vancouver Aquarium Marine exhibits giving business travellers an opportunity to experience underwater life without ever having to leave the airport. The 114,000-litre aquarium, on Level 3, features over 5,000 creatures including wolf eels, rockfish and anemones and on Level 4 you can discover a variety of Pacific jellyfish in the 1,800-litre aquarium. 

FRESH AIR AT TOKYO’S NARITA: After a long flight there's nothing better than stepping outside for fresh air. At Tokyo's Narita Airport there's something even better - the Juko Oxygen Lounge. Travellers can hook themselves up to oxygen tanks that pump flavoured oxygen from eucalyptus menthol to cinnamon. The increased oxygen is said to reduce headaches and limit the effects of jet lag, ideal especially when travelling for business where time is money.
 
ENTERTAINMENT AT HONG KONG: Experience cinema like never before at Hong Kong's International Airport. The 350-seat UA IMAX theatre in Terminal 2 brings films to life with special effects including artificial fog, wind, water spray and even snowfall. After the movie enjoy a round of golf at the Sky City Nine Eagles nine-hole golf course golf course located next to the terminal.

LOTS OF BEER AT MUNICH:  Accommodating approximately 600 guests, Europe's largest roofed-in-beer garden, is at the Munich International Airport. Complete with a variety of trees, plants and even a pond, the glass ceiling covered venue is ideal for long layovers. While you're soaking in the Bavarian spirit and sipping on a glass of Airbrau, enjoy some live musical performances at this traditional tavern.

LIVE MUSIC AT NASHVILLE: Famous for its country music, the Nashville International Airport displays some of the best local talent in the city. With four stages and up to 100 concerts per year, travellers can hear anything from Celtic and pop to bluegrass and Latin jazz.
 
SHOPPING AT SINGAPORE’S CHANGI: With over 40,000 square metREs of shopping and commercial space, this airport is constantly ranked among the world's best. Complete with everything you need to finish your work including: 200 iPad-wielding agents, 550 free Internet terminals, free Wi-Fi throughout the airport and finally multiple business centREs. It also has a variety of options for entertainment including a tropical garden with 47 species of butterflies and a 27-foot waterfall, two movie theatres, a Balinese-themed rooftop pool and the world's tallest airport slide in Terminal 2.
