Never been to Changi Airport, been to Singapore few times, one time by bus from Johor Baru, two times by train from KL for a weekend shopping. Back then in the late 1980s, SD1=RM1.5, now more than 3, and back then, there are not many mega malls in KL like the present time.
@@BingoandBinew Yes, more than half a century, both Malaysia and Singapore have gained independence. Back then in the late 1980s, the KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) goes straight into Singapore at Tanjung Pagar. Too bad that the fast train project between KL to Singapore has been scrapped off 7 years ago by the previous federal government. 😀
@@BingoandBinew Yes, too bad it didn't work as planned for Malaysia and Singapore. But there are always bus, train and plane. Hope that you guys have had a good time with your travelling in Malaysia and going to Singapore, vice versa. 😀
As someone who goes to Singapore almost every year, here are some tips... You can walk around and around the Jewel waterfall in the forest walkways. It's a concrete path on multiple levels. Its kind of a hike. There are many viewing spots to see the waterfall. Also, seek out the employee canteen. It's a hawker center with good cheap food. It's on the 2nd floor of one of the parking structures and open to the public, if you can find it.😁
If you are at Terminal 2, on the 2nd level, head to the right of the terminal towards the car park. Another is at Terminal 1 at either B1 or B2. It's inside the terminal and accessible by lift.
7-11 in Singapore is an expensive shop. Just walk into any shopping centre and go to the basement level and you will find a general Supermarket. For instance at the Jewel, there are two supermarkets at B2 and B1.
@@BingoandBinewActually I know a lot of my friends and other Singaporean that get food and snacks from 7-11 especially the onigiri (it is cheaper than most sushi shop and supermarkets sushi) and sandwich as a quick snack. As it is affordable and east to eat. While for the pre make food, people only get when there are carving for it or the lunch hour is short and there are long queues everywhere. But most of the pre make food as still petty afford. Other than that, all the other stuff are expensive
12:06 priority pass has at least one lounge I think outside of security (aka landslide) there is one in the jewel as well.frankly I doubt you missed anything but they have showers and some stuff. Like you can rest there a little from what I understand.
Jewel is on the outside, the skytrain that passes through Jewel is on the airside. That skytrain gives you the closest and best view to the rain votex.
A couple of tips for the next time you guys come - (1) there is a lounge (Priority Pass accessible) in Jewel itself - Changi Lounge which provides almost the same services as the airside lounges (at Level 1 - 304). (2) Just nearby the restaurant you had dinner, there is an actual food court (hawker style) with a variety of stalls and they are even more affordable.
@@GNiz5 Thank you for the tips! We couldn’t enter the lounge because we didn’t have our boarding passes for the next flight. And it also closed at 10pm. 😢 We can’t wait to try this food court and hope we can find it next time! 😊
I usually stay at the YOTEL in the Jewel for overnight layovers, it is a bit expensive but very convenient if you cant be bothered going into central Singapore.
@@happylife3818 We missed the last free city tour by about 45 minutes since our flight coming in was delayed. We have seen Singapore before but we wanted to enjoy (and film!) the airport this time. 😞 But thank you for the tip! 😊
The smoking lounge at T3 airside is the most beautiful in the world! Larger than most smoking lounge, air-conditioned, non-smoky with a Zen Garden with rivulets, mini waterfall and fountain with soothing water gushing and music, and you can see the airplanes landing and parking. Super cool!
Ya know, when I have an early morning flight, i usually check - in the night before so I dont miss the boarding time. I usually fly scoot so I just go airside as soon as I get me boarding pass Jetstar is 6 hrs iirc
I know I'm a bit late to this, but hey I'm glad you guys get to enjoy Changi Jewel Even for a little bit. Best Part in Jewel is definitely the waterfall hands down, but if you do have some time at night the bars at the top Level do occasionally have Bands playing at evening peak hours. I can find out the names of the bars if you want to check those out.
Should have gone to Geylang and book one of the budget hotels there for about a hundred. Check out at 5-6am. Have breakfast at the Geylang area. Take the first subway to airport.
😍😍Do you know if I can ARRIVE at night(Not transit) to SIN, explore the city & then come back again to Changi Airport to check all places and to possibly stay the night?
Generally speaking, you definitely can do that! As long as your passport allows you entry into the country, there is a train that leaves directly from the airport to the main areas of the city. Also, depending on your flight, you can reserve a seat on a FREE tourist city tour that departs from the airport. www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/sg/plan-travel/privileges/free-singapore-tour/#:~:text=Tour%20Eligibility&text=The%20Free%20Singapore%20Tour%20is,fit%20the%20tour%20timing%20requirements.&text=.,-Please%20enquire%20at Have fun! 😊

7-11 is not cheap. Is like whenever I travel to a foreign country, I will always get a bottle of water at the supermarket iso bookstore or a general store. But provided there is one around :) btw, there is a Japanese store Don Don Donki at the basement of Jewel and you can also get a lot of japanese bento boxes and sushi and the the price will be 30 to 40% less after 8ish or 9pm.
@@BingoandBinew you can literally get all the Japanese snacks and food ftom japan at don don donki. Sometimes my siblings and I will shop there in our area to buy wagyu beef and jap sweet potatoes and vegetables for our little furbaby princess :)
@@BingoandBinewIf you don't have a credit card with free lounge access or are not a frequent flyer member, you still can buy a single lounge pass. You get complimentary food and drinks, Wi-Fi, comfortable seating areas, showers, and beds, which beats paying for overpriced airport food and sleeping on airport benches. Price from S$55.
@@tkhaw Thank you for your comment! We have visited Singapore before and it can definitely be inexpensive. We stayed at capsule hotels and ate at hawker centres and loved our time there! 😊
