Stranded OVERNIGHT at Singapore's Changi Airport! 🇸🇬

[@BingoandBinew]

What’s your favourite place to visit in Changi Airport?

[@Yasin_Affandi]

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]

@@Yasin_Affandi That is so interesting! Things really do change a lot over time.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@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]

@@Yasin_Affandi That is too bad! That would have been very convenient. We also took a bus once from Singapore to Malaysia. 😊

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@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. 😀

[@ainadena7318]

As a Singaporean, watching videos like this makes me count my blessings that people find something from my homeland beautiful.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@ainadena7318 We’re so happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. 😊

[@Adscam]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@Adscam That is very good to know, thank you for sharing! We hope we get to visit the supermarkets next time! 😊

[@___Danny___]

The only thing that is fix price in 7-11 that is the same as other establishments is newspaper and gardenia bread.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@___Danny___ Thank you for sharing this interesting info! 😊

[@Eugene2013]

@@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

[@BingoandBinew]

@@Eugene2013 Thank you for this information! We appreciate it! 😊

[@darrylk808]

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.😁

[@BingoandBinew]

@@darrylk808 Thank you for these great tips! We’ve been very curious about this employee canteen - we hope we can find it the next time we’re there! 😊

[@dingaroo2003]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@ Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@Jesswords]

Woah! You both really made the best of a long and exhausting travel day. Glad you both are safe and heading to your next stop.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@Jesswords Aw thank you, Jess! Your words are always so uplifting! 🥰

[@MegaMeowMeow]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@MegaMeowMeow We couldn't enter the lounge because we didn't have our boarding passes for the next flight. And it also closed at 10pm. 😢

[@JereMy-u5u]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@JereMy-u5u Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Anyhow, hope that you guys have had a good time exploring the Changi Airport.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@bluestarfishsea He was truly the MVP of all of this! He was determined to make the most of it and that kept me going. 🥹

[@GNiz5]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@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! 😊

[@X-VoodooKing-X]

You're very lucky to get stranded at the best airport in the world.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@X-VoodooKing-X We agree! 😊

[@shaunperth]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@shaunperth That makes sense! We would have gone into central Singapore if we were there during the day! 😊

[@cac1504]

Hotel quite expensive.

[@BingoandBinew]

[@BingoandBinew]

@@Yodajedi01 Thank you! 😊

[@happylife3818]

For long lay over, you could have tried a city tour. Last train from city to airport is 11pm

[@BingoandBinew]

@@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! 😊

[@DelphinSquared]

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.

[@BingoandBinew]

@@DelphinSquared Better late than never! Thank you for sharing this info - something to know for the next time we’re at Changi Airport! 😊

[@drplanecraftofficialchanne4368]

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

[@BingoandBinew]

It’s an amazing airport to go in early for! Hopefully we get another chance to film the video we wanted to properly! 😅

[@ZackZainal]

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.

[@ZackZainal]

BTW the comfortable lounge chair are in the transit area.

[@chalayan]

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]

@@chalayan We wish we knew this when we were there! Thank you for sharing this info with us, now we will know for next time! 🤗

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!

😍😍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?

[@BingoandBinew]

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! 😊

How you get access to lounges?

[@BingoandBinew]

@doel89 We’re not sure how it works in other countries, but in Canada (where we’re from) and the USA, lounge access is included with certain credit cards. There are various ways to do it, but it would depend on where you’re from and what sort of incentives are offered there. And you can also pay upfront at the lounge but that is usually the most expensive option. We hope that helps! 😊

[@___Danny___]

ya , credit card or airline club’s membership.

[@REC_CER]

Or you can pay to enter certain lounges.

[@sirhoopalot1]

Aerotel at the airport is only about $115/night. Not sure why you think the $260/night hotel was the only option.
