That damn list of "things that can go wrong in an airport" triggers the pulsations, causes sweating and pasty in the mouth. But, this is not the time to get overwhelmed. She closes her eyes. Think you are caressing a little pig named LiLou. Her skin is soft, she makes adorable little growls and she rubs herself for more cuddles. Or she thinks of a beautiful promenade filled with tropical trees, waterfalls and birds. what are you bathing among dolphins while a physiotherapist massages your feet.
No, it's not a visualization-psychological trick to avoid the problems that the air Transport. All these options are real and can be enjoyed inside an airport. Yes, because there are many ways to de-stress at a terminal beyond indulging in a Duty Free. How are you:
LILOU, THE QUEEN OF THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT
Lilou is not only an animal capable of making even the most hurried traveler smile. She is also part of history. She is the first little pig that is part of the airport stress relief unit from San Francisco, a team that until now was only made up of dogs - there are currently 22 on staff - and who are dedicated to strolling through the corridors of this infrastructure with a sign that says 'caress me' . The idea is that the mere presence of her makes the children forget that they have to wait in long queues and that the adults forgive any unforeseen event that may arise until they get on the plane.
But LiLou not only dazzles with her Iberian walk. She is also able to greet with a mini-squeak, turn around, sit up, and play a mini piano. As a lucky star in 2017, She has an Instagram account where everyone can see her wide variety of costumes.
** CHANGI , THE TERMINAL THAT IS ALSO AN AMUSEMENT PARK **
The latest airport designs go beyond the hackneyed formula of counters-security-shops-boarding gates . A good example of this is the new building to be built next to Terminal 1 of the **Changi (Singapore)** airport. In it, travelers can enjoy a complete amusement park designed by the Canadian-Israeli architect Moshe Safdie.

The structure will five stories high and he will not have the typical amusements: his heart is a gigantic tropical garden that can be explored at ground level or through a system of suspended nets that seek to make visitors feel that they are flying over the forest. It will also have a maze, a giant flower garden, a huge waterfall and even have its own clouds, created by a humidifying system created by the museum. The San Francisco Exploratorium.
All this structure can be enjoyed from 2019, the year in which it will be inaugurated. Until then, passengers who step on Changi will have to 'make do' with visiting one of its two cinemas, its butterfly garden -in which more than 1,000 specimens live-, another cactus garden, admire an art installation with 1,200 drops of rain made with copper, or take a bath in your pool. Yes, that is why it is considered the best airport in the world.
