The Jewel is actually built for local residents to have another leisure spot to disperse weekend crowds, tourists are secondary beneficiaries. The rationales are: (1) to better utilise the train connection to the airport, after spending hundreds of million to connect the airport to the rail network; and (2) to better utilise the high-capital-low-human-density plot of airport land.

[@uwet.8826]

@@rjjrjehehew It was reported in the news before. Jewel's aim is to disperse crowds (not to concentrate whole Singapore population there) . So it is okay that not appeals to all. But it does give people another option. My children go there for the Pokemon centre.

As a Singaporean, it definitely is the best airport in the world, probably also one of the best malls in Singapore right now since there are so many things to do here and it is really relaxing. I always go to jewel every weekend to eat and enjoy the rain vortex. I think all travellers should at least visit jewel once in their lifetime as this place feels like another world.

Changi Airport is not just an airport. It's also a shopping mall, public park, and amusement park. When I was in Singapore I went there many times even when I don't have any flight. It is unfortunate that the bus and train don't operate after midnight. At least once-an-hour bus or train would be very helpful.

[@verycursedplane6557]

Actually a bus operates from terminals 1-4 after 12am-6am during the times the sky train close. The bus stop is between terminal 1 and jewel. At the road side(which is sheltered) been there as a citizen multiple times to eat

[@nomore-constipation]

This is a tenth of its GDP at 36.6 billion? That's a very dangerous situation to be in if air travel tanks (for longer periods) I hope they diversify that airport for other uses as well. If the airport cannot open (like during the pandemic) not only does that mean it's not generating money but you lose your workforce and the capital they spend in the local economy. Personally I think they should split it up. Maybe try and get it working for both airlines and shipping. This way it'll keep working and not have a total shutdown. ...but that's just the pessimist in me 🙃

The airport is an all in one entertainment centre for the tourists, people on the lay over as well for the locals. So blessed to visit them couple of months ago. Well done SG.

[@kennethdaniels3000]

It can be largely attributed to the long term planning of the majoritarian party in Singapore that has governed it for the past 65 years. With the leadership of an iron-fist Lee Kuan Yew who oversaw it all, by reclaiming land on a beach-swamp and reserving said land for Changi Airport, and enforced pristine service and disciplined management, unswayed by unions(which he cracked down) from time to time to ensure that visitors, travellers, and tourists would have a quality experience during the arrival. His perception from a 1981 rally speech that should be modelled by many leaders are as follows ; “We finally decided that the airport should be an extension of our garden city. This is because the first point of contact for the tourist visiting Singapore, apart from your Singapore Airlines girl in the plane, is the airport. So we took great care to combine the aesthetics with the functional aspects.”

Honestly, don't just rot in the airport. Singapore isn't just one airport. We have neighbourhoods of hawker centres and coffee shops, streets with Peranakan shophouses, and a business district with modern infrastructure.

[@razjackson5825]

Yep, they did it because there's a really profitable business case behind it, but there's also quite a lot of meaning and symbolism behind it. Singapore is a hub of hubs right, a gateway; an airport doesn't have to be just a depresing building where people wait for their flights and worse, if they get delayed, waiting around with nothing to do (yep, goes to show that I've travelled around North American airports quite extensively). It's actually quite a nice, friendly and considerate thing to do/provide. Think about this: they didn't actually have to do all that right, and they could still probably attract a sizeable transit market even with just a basic, stock standard airport, but they chose to do something like this instead. An analogy would be like being in a waiting room at the dentist, but some dentist places provide you with water and sweets while you wait and have a play area for your kids etc. Whereas other waiting areas just has seats and nothing more. Nothing is ever completely free by the way. It's just so crazy how many people it serves - almost 70 million pre-covid, and projected to be multiple times that once T5 is up and running. Yet it's such a safe and clean country where everything runs well. At the same time they arrest far fewer people than New Zealand for example (where I currently live). Does it feel oppressive? Look at all the people, young and old, out and about just them being them. So no, it's actually pretty easy-going. It's a bustling place, but in terms of personal temperament they are really easy-going (a friend of mine just got jumped by three thugs last week at a McDonald's in Wellington and ended up in hospital, if I showed you pics of his injury you'd be shocked).

Then, His Message and his works confirmed that it was Him the Messiah. And today, on the whole face of the earth, if you are a child of God, your place, it is here with the prophet of your time, Prophet Kacou Philippe. And he that has ears to hear, let him hear.

Crazy. Lots of terrible people here as well.

@@Rash7 Every country has good and bad ppl, Sg is no exception

[@miadodson1938]

I love Changi, been through it many times, but they have added hell of a lot more since I was there last, hope to travel through Changi again soon...fingers crossed.

[@sokjeong-ho7033]

I tell you what, their pool is great. Sitting by it in a deckchair at like 9 pm, severely jetlagged, a humid 40 degrees, downing ice cold tiger beers was the most fun I've ever had in an airport

[@jerrylin2044]

I was expecting the construction to cost a lot more than $1.8 billion, considering Singapore is one of the wealthiest nation.

[@ligmaballs2022]

Yeah but naturally, not everyone in Singapore is wealthy

[@uwet.8826]

What is the link?

[@choochoo-ky9kc]

they're also pretty efficient with their money so isn't that a good thing?

[@jerrylin2044]

@@choochoo-ky9kc Of course!

[@harryvs]

Because the construction workers are not Singaporeans but immigrants who are paid less than $500 per month

Wish there were airports in the US like this. Just amazing.

[@fredricklee]

And many U.S. airports look like Greyhound bus stations (yes, LAX and San Jose, I am looking at you as a frequent traveler). 🤦🏾

[@sn5301679]

Is there also any homeless roaming around?

im happy for the reporter, she seemed very happy. good for you :)

[@gdkid]

I have a friend from Singapore and he says people to go the airport to do their homework and study, kind of like how you’d do in a library lol

[@sammyp9514]

I would love to visit Singapore 🇸🇬 and see this incredible airport one day.

[@claptrap8356]

IM SO PROUD OF MY COUNTRY

[@samrosendahl392]

Probably the greatest work of modern art in the world. This is Archeo-futurism, the Aesthetic ideal of the old world combined with futuristic technology.

[@Sanyu-Tumusiime]

wholesome, that reporter had the time of her life there

[@professor_white691]

Fun fact, the reason why all the floor is carpeted is because its sound proofing, it was designed to stop the sounds of wheels moving. This incudes inside the maintaine hallways.

[@daydreamer523]

They must be so proud

I haven't travelled internationally for 31 years. Till this year. When my younger sister lucked out on a promo with a budget airline that will let us fly into Singapore at the same price we would spend travelling to Boracay. I am a Filipino and flying to Singapore was not just my first International Flight. It was also my first experience flying AT ALL. So it is really breathtaking to see such a beautiful airport right after you land. I cannot say exactly whether it is the best airport in the world or not but I will say this. The beauty of this airport definitely sets a high standard of my expectations of what an airport should be. So imagine my pain when I had to go back to NAIA after seeing this beauty. It is really really painful. I wish that in my lifetime, I get to have another go at travelling to Singapore and have the money to spend doing what I want. Because it is quite expensive to dine and go around the country.

[@summerc.5369]

You're blessed that the one airport you traveled to in 31 years is the best airport in the world :)

[@MikeONatty]

Landed in Changi and I was in a cab to the city within 6minutes. Yes, I timed it.

[@Taylarg2000]

It’s also so beautiful. We need more greenery In the world. I bet the oxygen would feel so clean in there.

[@Pierceyish]

I can say that I HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!

[@georgeolieng3950]

Very beautiful place watching from kenya

[@RadDadisRad]

Air side hotels are a godsend when you have an extended layover.

[@manchesterunitedno7]

There are also capsule hotels in Changi, and it cost half of the air side hotels on the video. Plus, sleeping pods are available spreading around the terminals and you can rent it hourly. Some of those are even free for a quick nap.

[@vikky867]

Just visited 2times roundtrip san jose to Singapore to hyd /india and back..i loved it ..also went 4 more times starting in 1997..

[@guard961]

I like how I live just 15 minutes away from the airport. Frequently going there to have meals or take a stroll at Jewel with my family & friends.

[@SuccessforLifester]

I wish I could walk there. I also live nearby with easy access to bus

[@Yiyang1130]

I used to live and work near Jewel so I would go there like all the time especially during the weekends, one of my favorite places ever
