A few days ago, I sent my parents off at the airport and we saw a directional sign that said "LOW COST TERMINAL".
Of course, for the well-initiated, this was the low-cost carrier airport terminal - or some would call it "The Budget Airline Terminal".
We were pondering over the "Low Cost Terminal" terminology. It sounds very cheapskate and the unintiated might have visions of a very cheap thatched-roof kind of structure. It's something that is rather un-modern-Singapore.
"Low Cost Terminal" - somehow it exudes a caste-like discrimination.
But seriously, why can't the authorities call it "Budget Airline Terminal"?
