Visiting the Jewel Changi was something i'd been really keen on doing in Singapore. So much so that even though i was sick as a dog when in Singapore, I wasn't going to let the opportunity to see the Jewel, i.e. the newest addition to the world's BEST AIRPORT (voted so by Skytrax for seven consecutive years) slip before i left the country.
I didn't do as much research on the Jewel as i should've... and in my mind, my silly assumption made sense.
Anyway...if anything i hope you don't make the same mistake i do when visiting Jewel Changi. Although i was disappointed, i managed to explore Terminal 1, Terminal 2 AND Terminal 3 of Singapore Airport - got to see a BUNCH of stuff (the airport has a butterfly garden, a sunflower garden and a whole range of other cool stuff) and i was also able to get (unlimited rides) on the airport sky train, so not all was lost.
Honestly, i'm still kinda embarrassed and baffled at myself lol. i'm not usually like this... i promise.
I hope you enjoyed my perspective of Singapore's Changi Airport.

If you're reading this..what's your favourite airport that you've visited?
Have you ever done something that made you severly roll your eyes at yourself? Tell me about it please.
So, if i just transit to singapore for almost 4hr, can i still go to jewell?
@@alvonsoputera7063 based on my understanding, you still can (though they recommend 5 hours as ''sufficient'' timing)
because Jewel isn't in the transit (restricted area), to visit it, you will need have a valid visa to enter Singapore. this means you'll have to go through arrival immigration & customs and then once you're done visiting Jewel, pass through departure immigration & security to get back into the transit area
@Janice Fung ok thank you for your explanation. Let me try when i arrive at changi. Wish me luck 😁
Do have any suggestion place to visit in HK? Because after transit in sgp, i just continue my flight to HK. Cheap place to eat and shop 😁😁😁
@@alvonsoputera7063 yeah let me know how you go :D
when in hk hit up the street food and the local eats, they are the best :)
If I could count them!
To be fair, I feel you've saved a lot of people from the same mistake! Also, Changi certainly doesn't seem like the worst place to be stranded for 3 hours even without the Jewel!
I hope so! That’d make my experience all worth it 😅
And yea 100%! Changi airport is probably one of the best place to be stranded for 3 hours haha
i always felt there werent enough time even!
cheesedalezz Hui hahaha correct! even if i had arrived earlier than my previous visit there, always felt like i still could’ve used more time.
You all can proceed straight to jewel where there is an early check in kiosk to drop your baggages regardless of which terminal.your flight is in . If not , there is also bag storage areas . But do remember , the early check in service closes 3 hours before your flight and after that you have to proceed to your terminal to do check in via the usual method
soooo true...
Her: "Charsiew noodles for 5.50? Thats a good bargain"
Me: *laughs in Singaporean*
Hahaha
Cant relate :/
$5.50 is expensive for a wanton noodle (that's the proper name). Not char siew noodle
The nearest one to me is 3.80 😑
El HM Loh Looks like it’s literally char siew noodles, didn’t see any wanton in there.
The airport offers two free city tours if you have a long layover. The first one is at 8am and then one in the afternoon. They take the group back through immigration and onto two tour buses. It lasts about 2 hours and brings you back to the airport and through immigration again. Im not sure if theyve added jewel to the tour but you can ask at the information booth
Hey that’s awesome - I’ll check this out next time I’m there!
This free airport city 2.5hr tour applies to layover of more than 5hrs but under 24 hrs. You just need to approach the counter, produce your connecting flight boarding pass and passport as proof. So Singapore is a fantastic transit station to save on a one-stop transit flights (aka cheaper) tickets vs direct flight!
Can i take city tour For this no visa need for Singapore?
Hi Janice, I wrote a suggestion to the Changi Airport Group to improve this situation after watching your video n this is their reply below. Sorry that this happened! Awesome video by the way!
"Thank you for your suggestion to install signs to inform travellers that Jewel Changi Airport is only accessible from public areas.
We acknowledge and do note of these occurrences. We have since implemented changes to some of our collaterals and maps to include a liner to inform Changi Airport visitors of this important information to ensure visitors can enjoy Jewel Changi Airport before proceeding for their flights. We will continue to monitor and review to install additional signs within the terminals to tighten these wayfinding gaps.
Thank you once again for your suggestion."
River Koh wow thanks so much River 🙏
Jewel is a mall, think of it that way!
It must be accessible to anyone (not contained in a secured area) ; not just users of the Airport.
One should do special check
-in of luggage first then shop at jewel before getting to your flight
Jewel is never designed for passengers doing transit or who have not pass thru immigration to get into Singapore
U need to pay GSt taxes when u shop and dine at jewel
(But upon check in / done immigration, those shops inside the airport while awaiting flights have no taxes)
Lol
The mall is Jewel and the place at it is at Changi Airport
Did you dumb arses know that once you pass immigration, you are in a secure area. Idiots have attempted to get in here by purchasing a ticket, then not taking the flight, which is illegal. Yeah let’s open up the whole of jewel and swing from a tree. Don’t need to fly then. Idiots!
Jewel Changi is accessible before immigration yep. Its located in Terminal One - and the MRT is located at Terminal Two, so just hop on a skytrain and you'll be there in a jiffy.
For travellers, you're also able to check in your luggages directly at Jewel if you're there at least three hours before your flight.
At least you're not out of options once you're past immigration, there's still a lot of things to do (just not sightseeing Jewel hahaha).
Hi, so basically here's a list of things you can do if you find yourself stranded for a few hours:
• movie theaters in T2 and T3
• pool if u have a little extra money (T1)
• get a massage too if u have enough (T2 and T3)
• play arcade/video games (again, T2 and T3)
• get dem free snacks
• and those free photos too
• also, look out for pop-up stores: sometimes they have liquor tasting, small play area for kids or make-up consultation
Photospots:
T1 - Cactus Garden, Lily Garden
T2 - Sunflower Garden, Orchid Garden
T3 - Butterfly Garden, Wings Sculpture (nearby A Gates, T3 is basically a photo spot wherever you go) go down to the immigration level if you want to see sculptures(dont worry you can go back up, just dont go through it)
Kids:
• Playgrounds (T1 and T2)
• colouring areas (T2 and T3)
Snooze areas:
T1: Near the D gates, take the escalator up beside the bookshop.
T2: Main TVs area, near F gates.
T3: From the departure immigration, walk your way to the back. Also, there is a snooze area behind Food Street too.
I feel for you. But please don't call yourself stupid or dumb you deserve more than that. The fact that you educated the travelers you need to go before entering the airport is much appreciated. Hope you will be able to visit it sometime in the future.
thanks Anthony - i will definitely be back to visit again :)
Janice, for your next visit : use the CHECK-IN counters at JEWEL, for all airlines if you’re early, collect boarding pass and/ or to drop off baggage, if any - then go ‘jalan jalan’ (walkabout 🤩) thanks for sharing loved your video x
The view from the skytrain was still amazing!
yea, at the very least i got to see it in person! :P
I live in Singapore and I've never even known that it has so many amenities! It makes me proud to be Singaporean HAHA
yeah! i was constantly in awe!
Singaporean.... not to be a singapore 😂😂
@@itsrifalous785 Thanks! I didn't even see that 😂
Same Daphne Chan
Me tooooo
The Changi Jewel is a big mall beside the airport and is in a public area ; visit it BEFORE you go through immigration if you are departing Singapore or AFTER immigration if you are arriving into Singapore.( I copied this from some brochure).
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 wish I’d read this before i went in 🤣
You are not alone!! This is exactly what happen to me. Arrived early to the airport, checked in early, went through immigration and went straight to the information desk asking how do i get to jewel changi, only to be told that i had to through immigration!!
Yeah but this woman asked before she went through immigration so was misinformed by a member of staff
Hey my friend, as a fellow Singaporean, I am always happy to show you around Singapore during your next visit. Cheers
thanks in advance Eric!
Is anyone commenting here actually paying attention to this video i think im the only one that is. It is clear to see the woman asked for info on the jewel & she was told by a member of staff she can see the jewel after immigration so she took his word for it as most people would as he works there. It was his mistake not hers so im not understanding what is being said here. Im actually bewildered by all these comments.
I think it's more a marketing problem that made you assume that Jewel can be visited after immigrations. I keep seeing non Singaporean media referring to Jewel as the airport when it really is just a mall that is next to/connected to the airport. It's understandable to think that you can visit the place after immigrations.
Good advice. Do not take your luggage into Changi Jewel. I have written complaints about not having clear warning signage (especially for older folks), that it is a one kilometer walk (felt like it) from Terminal to Jewel. Then when you want to go home, the taxi drop off outside Jewel cannot take on passengers (stupid traffic regulation). You have to take your self and luggage all the way to the other side of the airport terminal and wait in line with passengers who have just disembarked. If you are not physically fit, there is nothing but a waterfall similar to Gardens by the Bay or MBS. Shops are plentiful but not really relevant - imagine Gardens by the Bay full of shops. My experience in Changi Jewel was not so good and I went without any baggages.
I went there with all my luggage because I was too early to check in. I just took a trolley with me,problem solved
Actually you can get a glimpse of the changi jewel inside the airport, there is a skytrain travelling through the waterfall, and that's the only way you can experience inside the airport.
yeah! i managed to do that and ended up riding that skytrain quite a few times haha. it never got old it looked so amazing up close! :D
@@JaniceFung hey could you let me know which station train is that ?
I felt your pain...but you're so brave to admit your mistake to the world and save those of us who very well could have made the same mistake, if not for this video. Much respect!
Thank you so much! Yeah.. .i was pretty bummed out... but i figured, might as well try and turn the situation into a win and hope other people dont make the same mistake i did!
Wasn't a mistake by her remember she asked that man & he was the one that gave her the wrong information.
Hello Janice !
I was in Singapore 2nd week of August 2019 and no worries coz Jewel is a mall inside the airport. Typical class "A" mall... There are supermarket, Cinema, and stores to shop.
That huge indoor fountain occupying several floors of Jewel is for me d highlight... But you have seen it as I have seen in your vlog here in.
Yes, Jewel is located in the airport before passing the immigration coz those people who wanna go to d mall or supermarket before departure or upon arrival at the airport could go directly to Jewel to shop everything they need.
Don't feel so bad or so sad that you didn't go to Jewel coz to reiterate Jewel is a typical class "A" to shop or do window shopping or watch movie or buy food supply in the supermarket. 🌷⭐🌻🌼
Cheer up girl 🤜🤛🌈💓
thanks for trying to make me feel better ! :)
I once had over 5 hours of transit time in Changi. I didn’t get bored at all.
That would be me sleeping in the theater snoring over everything LOLLL
bahahahahahha! that cinema was like a makeshift nap room tbh
The rest of Jewel Changi is just a giant mall though, lucky you caught the highlight 👍
Actually you did not make any mistake since you are able to very all the 3 connecting terminal and catch a ride internally on Skytrain that goes thru the middle of Jewel, which i m waiting to do when i Depart at Changi during the night. They have the hourly illuminations for 15mins at the Vortex waterfall.
Next trip, after check-in, in public areas..just go to T1 to really shop & eat. Is in public areas. Not inside transit. Do visit again...Cheers!
Ahh the Illuminations would be amazing!
I would absolutely love to visit again, thanks Annie! ☺️🙏
I wish more videos on the airport shared this. We had an 8.5 hour layover in Singapore and accidentally exited through immigration and then came back to shower at a lounge etc. We had planned on spending the day in the city and then exploring the airport. We were not able to because they only allowed us the single exit and entry.
Aww man that sucks!! But at least you made the most out of your time there

People make mistakes when travelling all the time!!! Dont stress. Glad you posted your experience
True that 😊 glad you enjoyed the vid!
But she didn't make a mistake she asked that man whom was incompetent giving her the wrong information
9:52 actually, if you go to the hawker centers, you can find noodles at 2 to 3 dollars😅😀
AKAJovain Gaming And Vloging what. How old are you? Oh my, you’re missing out in life man.
Thanks so much for posting this. I have a layover at Changi in a couple of weeks and the information about getting to The Jewel is really confusing. Nice to know we can see it from the sky train.
Going to Singapore in December and if you hadn’t posted this video I would have never guessed the “Jewel” was before the immigration 😊. Also great and funny videos on HK (how I found this channel) which I’ll be visiting in November. Keep up the good work! 😁
Ahhhh this makes the video all worth it!!! Make sure you don’t miss the Jewel 😊
Also thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoy the videos 🙏
Jewel changi... The whole changi is sooo worth it =)
Best place for transit passengers.
I live in sg and we love the airport =)
I love it too! Already can’t wait to come back ☺️
Same
Hehe made the same mistake :p
I am so glad i watched this first before my trip to Singapore. I cant wait for Jewel. The best airport in the world.
Jewel is not only a mall alone.
Its a shame you missed seeing the Jewel Changi but hey lets admit it we have all made mistakes somewhere along the line as travellers. Its all part of the travelling experience taking the bad with the good. I'm sure you'll get to see it on your next visit to Singapore. Another great Vlog BTW. 😊
such a good way to look at it!
thank you so much Jeffrey! :)
Even though you didn’t make it to the Jewel, at least you made your best attempt to max out your time at the airport. And free snack!
Yeah! So much to do even inside the airport. I’d honestly never get bored
You can write me on my email address moshesafdie91@gmail.com
aww, I feel your pain, it's ok, at least you got to explore other parts of the airport.
I got really tho lucky because I transitted at Singapore Changi Airport, so I went out of immigration without having to bring my luggage bag. I got to see the Jewel, It was truly eye-opening, but I only had an hour to stay there.
That's Sad, don't worry you can Next Time :)) Changi Airport Simply Incredible, Great Video Sis!
thanks so much mate!
yeah... next time :)
Should explore the newest terminal in Changi, terminal 4 by taking a shuttle bus from T2
I will do next time! 😊
I did film one scene while i was in Terminal 3 butterfly garden but i had to wipe that segment off because i could only see 3 butterflies. You're lucky that you managed to see more there.
Hope u enjoyed your trip to Singapore despite the disappointment. Come back again for Jewel 🤗
Definitely will!
The card system at the food court is probably because they’re anticipating transit passengers that may not have Singapore currency, so only the main counter has to handle the currency exchange
ahh yeah that makes sense
This is the good thing about Singapore : even if you had to miss a good thing, you still get to whizz past it, totally encapsulated !
Thanks for the informative clip Janice, as a constantly abroad local, I have yet to visit the Jewel, though Changi is my regular haunt whenever I am back home !
No problem☺️ glad you enjoyed it !
It looks even better in person than in the video!
There's so much to shop and eat at Changi, you could easily spend hours between 3 terminals. Try their staff canteen for local food options at non-airport prices!
Yea I’ll do that next time!!
@@JaniceFung They're in Public Areas of each terminals FYI... ;)
At 2:10 you can see the time for the next train towards Changi Airport to arrive is 7 Mins
LOL in all honesty, I would've made the same mistake. I thought you could access Jewel from within the terminals as well. We just got lucky cos we randomly stumbled upon as we were looking for our Grab and I was like, "oh, what's this waterfall contraption thingy?" I legit had never heard of the Jewel before. Clearly have been living under a rock. I'd try and make you feel better by saying it's overrated, not that impressive and all.. but danggggg, girl. You missed out. It's pretty darn epic. Love your fun personality and vibe!
Hello 👋! Hahaha thanks for attempting to make me feel better 😂
I saw the waterfall from a distance in the sky train and that was already pretty damn cool, I’d imagine it’d be exactly like you said in person!!
Naz and I always say "We make mistakes so YOU dont have to"!
Way to take one for the team Janice!😁
Hey that is SUCH a good line! It’s so true too , love it!!
I gotta say i see why singapore os the best! Omg tje char siu noodles looks amazing i am mouth watering
The Hungry Black Panda i eta ut everyday xD
The Hungry Black Panda u can find much better char siew noodles in other parts of Singapore
you should try the char kway teow and oyster omelette too! (though i preferred the penang’s version)
I guess you must have did all your Googling after the "mishap". :)
Curious, but why didn't you visited the Jewel when you touch down? When Jewel was built, the intent was also for locals coz usually we sometimes visit the airport during weekends as a shopping area. By making the place accessible for locals, it also helps to sustain the shops rather than totally dependent on business travellers and tourists who might be rushing in and out of Singapore.
So fret not, if you are here in SG next time, I can always bring you out to explore from a local eyes. :)
Btw, the char siew noodle looks really crappy, coz you can get the same at $3 to $3.50 at hawker centres but it is the airport, so it is understandable. Also, the reason why they use a card system is partly becoz the stalls could be rented out to sub-tenants by the master tenant. Their tenancy agreement probably has base rent plus profit sharing, so by having a card system, the master tenant knows the revenue for each shop and takes a cut in it.
Haha I did indeed google Jewel extensively after I could no longer get out of the restricted area. 🤣
I arrived in SG at like 8 / 830 pm? And just wanted to get to my hostel and call it a night
Also, makes a lot of sense re the card system, thanks Alvin!
I just saw the jewel in my 2.5 hours overlay. I took the train T3 two times back and forth to get some good pictures and still enjoy the scenario.
Yes we cant wait to visit Singapore again,counting the days😊.
Nenita Carston welcome to Singapore 😄🙏🏻🌈
You can go jewel through the bridge that connected to jewel from T2
There will be a direction of how to go there so yea
Can you please explain how to get to Jewel after landing at Singapore? I’m kinda confused about the airport security and stuff works. Thank youuuu
you can get there from any terminal, just ask around:)
hey :) its accessible from any terminal, like Sarah said, but you do need to exit the restricted area (i.e. go through immigration and enter Singapore). once you've gone through arrival immigration there are a bunch of signs that will lead you there.
it's actually pretty obvious... hence why it was such a dumb mistake for me lol
.
Janice Fung thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Sarah Edits thank youu ♥️♥️
Not stupid.... you gave us the knowledge. Thank you for posting/sharing. Subscribed (2 years later) cause I like your frankness and honesty 😉 😀 👍 ❤️
That airport is dope anyway! We loved it when we went thru there! Great shot from the skytrain anyway! Great price on those bbq pork noodles!
Yeah! I’d never get bored in Singapore airport
Those bbq pork noodles were a steal! (Considering all food in airports have prices hiked!)
Thank you for being so honest. I'm sure your not the first person to do that and won't be the last but it was brave of you to share your experience
Oh my god!!! I should have watch this video!!! The same stupid thing happened to me 2 days ago 🤦🏽♀️😢😭
Oh no!!! I’m sorry that happened to you too ☹️ I know how you feel Karen 😓
this happened to most of us..
Once you arrive at Changi Airport MRT Station, you will see signages that guide you to Jewel Changi Airport, either from T2 or T3 exit. With more than 3 hours before departure, you can actually do an early check in at Jewel - Bag drop and print boarding pass. Then you can shop, dine and explore Jewel without your heavy luggage. When it is about time, go to T2 departure hall to clear immigration at least 1 hour before your flight departure time.
Thanks Edward, awesome tips ☺️ that’s definitely what I’ll be doing next time I visit Singapore 😅
Hi Janice, there is a SkyTrain that passes through the jewel from the transit. You can't come out but you get to see the garden and waterfall inside as it pass through.
Anyway no big issues (I thought the butterfly garden is much better) it will still be here when you do come around again. I love char siew too. 😉
thanks Jason -being able to pass through the waterfall was amazing :)
There are 2 secret hawker food centres under the airport for staff members but accessible for visitors . Super cheap food than upstairs food for anyone stuck for more than 3 hours . But you can only access it before Immigration
Oh my goodness, I actually was planning the same on my return trip! I’m so sorry for your travel mishap, but thank you for saving me from doing the same! I hope you’ll get to do the trip again to see everything!
The whole point of coming to the airport hours and hours before your flight back to wherever is to get to tour around Jewel. Your experience is not stupid IMO. We also missed getting to Jewel after passing through immigration. What happened was we thought of eating lunch first before going to the Jewel and pointed to the food stalls inside T4 and voila! we can't get out anymore.
Jewel location in landside after immigration if you come from abroad. Or before immigration if you come from Singapore city.
👍👍👍
That means at the moment you thought and said you could reach Jewel but could still take the skytrain, You should be able to reach Jewel. You better take a look at the map of Jewel and the airport.
Jewel terminal is opposite terminal 1 and yes you need to visit before immigration
Janice, you are one of the very FEW UA-camrs travel people who will admit it when you make a mistake. Most of the time, all you hear are people blaming everyone else when travel does not go as planned or as hoped.
Interesting video. Thanks for posting. I went in the butterfly farm when I passed through SG in January 2020. Didn't have a long enough layover before my next flight, but well worth it. Stopping off at SG for four days this coming December, and we arrive in SG at 7.30am, so we will do the Jewel and things before we go to our hotel.
It recently went to jewel. Awesome place
Was it amazing to see it in person?? Did u try any of the canopy walks etc? ☺️
I found this so helpful. You are very charismatic. Look forward to seeing more of your videos!
come back again!! LOL.. australia and sg only 8 hours away.
Yeah I definitely intend to!
Janice - you are such a trooper! So glad you made the most of it.
Hi Janice! We're so intrigued! We've heard so many great things about this airport. Noooooooooooooo.... That's so sad!!!! Don't feel bad though. We've done similar things while traveling. Haha Plus, you got to show us everything else that we don't see in most videos. This airport has so much!!! They really think about passengers. Yayyyy!!! At least you got to see it. That butterfly garden is pretty epic too. That food street sounds pretty cool as well. YEahhh Cactus garden! It is indeed very nice that you have the option to swim.Great video!
That expression immediately changed and lingered on till you boarded the plane. Hahaha
Haha I was pretty annoyed at myself the entire time 🤣
Janice Fung It happens and I have seen your updates, glad you have redeemed yourself 😆
Very sad you couldnt go inside the jewel. why are your vlogs so entertaining i love them so much
Actually, there is a shuttle that zooms across Jewel between the terminals. You can look down and then if you miss it, you can stay on that train and it will zoom you high in the sky to the opposite end of the track.
But yes, in order for you to walk and browse the sights of Jewel, DO NOT check in yet.
JEWEL is NOT inside the immigration.
It is accessible outside to anyone who wants to shop, dine and enjoy the mall.
It is NOT just for travelers.
Had a stressful experience as well just to see Jewel Changi! I remember my terminal/gate was the farthest from the Jewel so I had to walk all the way to its terminal and back. Changi airport is a pretty big airport lol. Lesson learned 😂
Haha was it worth it though?
I realised that a lot of people do not know that Jewel is a mall next to the airport! It is not a terminal or something like that. That just means you would have to visit Singapore again lol
the more i talk to people now about it, the more i realise im not the only one who thought it was inside the terminals...
yes absolutely will have to visit Singapore again :D
Jewel is a mall, think of it that way!
It must be accessible to anyone (not contained in a secured area) ; not just users of the Airport.
One should do special check
-in of luggage first then shop at jewel before getting on to your flight
Jewel is never designed only for passengers doing transit or those who have not pass thru immigration to get into Singapore
U need to pay GSt taxes when u shop and dine at jewel
(But upon check in / done immigration, those shops inside the airport while awaiting flights have no taxes)
Thanks for sharing this. I was at Singapore Changi airport Nov 2019. I was transmitting from Perth going Seoul. I knew about the Jewel beforehand, so when I arrived Changi (from Perth) I looked up map, yep I am at this terminal, take the train to next terminal where Jewel is. I simply couldn’t find it, though the map say it is there. I asked someone and she said it’s outside, need to pass the immigration. So I didn’t get to see it. Then I saw this video of yours. At least you found the free movie cinema. I couldn’t find that either.
When I was there several years ago they had massage chairs (typical in every airport I know) except these ones were completely FREE. Seriously you didn't need to pay anything and you could sit as long as you wanted!! Hopefully it's still free now
What would have happened if you tried to just get out?
No idea actually
Security might detain you for questioning. Idk if they will accept "making a mistake" as a reason but you'll get in legal trouble if you enter immigration without "intent to travel"
The best time to chill out in Changi Jewel are 8pm to 11pm, i.e. Vortex Light Show. Friday and weekend is crowded. Avoid the Jewel basement eating outlet, is god damned expensive, just go to T3 basement.
thanks so much for the tips!
i already can't wait to go back and check out the light show... and the food!
I am sorry you missed seeing Jewel. On the positive, your fans love seeing you do what we all do: figure out what to do when we mess up. It's because you're relatable and we can see ourselves in you, that we trust you to take us on your adventures. The sun will out, tomorrow...
Thanks Wendel! im so glad you enjoy being on these adventures / misadventures with me, i appreciate it :D!
Hahaha Omg, can’t believe you missed out the Jewel too Janice!
Lucky you have a chance to see it from the sky train in between terminals.
This is actually great information to share 👍🏻
I think many people out there might do the same as you as they will think the Jewel is inside the airport building so they will check out during transit or after checked in.
hahaha i know right guys!
the trip on the skytrain between the terminals did make up for it though. so cool to see the waterfall up close!
I wouldn't say the charsiew noodles were a bargain though😂 As a Singaporean a plate of charsiew noodles cost way lesser than that at the airport
Oh hahaha 😅 it was cheap in comparison to prices of food I typically see at airports lol
Thank you. You have just answered my question and helped me planned my trip. Now I know, to visit Changi Jewel as a day trip during my stay - NOT during stop overs or waiting to embark. Some comments below too shared this sentiment that you have saved a lot of people from making the same mistake.
I guess as Singaporeans we are so used to having giant malls, so the overtly sensationalized Changi jewel is no big deal to us. Yes, the indoor waterfall is something, but what are you going to do with it except to just look at it? Well, you see it once, twice and three times, then boredom sets in, and then that’s it.
Im so glad i watched this. as i want to see jewel and the information online is not very clear. Ive got a flight from terminal 4 and there doesnt seem to be a way to go between the terminals
I think you wuld be a lot of fun to travel with
ua-cam.com/video/zn0SGlVTwfA/v-deo.html
Have you tried asking the immigration officer who checked your passport if there is any possibilities for you to go Jewel for a couple of hours?
What a great video; so informative, too! I enjoyed "travelling" there with you. 🙄🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
thanks for "travelling" with me :)
I just found this video by random and thoroughly enjoyed it. You’re very sincere and pleasant to listen to. Thank you for the video.
thank you so much for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
Going through the Rain Vortex via the SkyTrain is really an exhilarating experience. Glad you experienced it. I have seen it on foot and on the SkyTrain. The SkyTrain gives a better amazing experience, sort of like going through the city of Wakanda
Yes! That was exactly what it was like! And the train actually slows down as it’s passing through the rain vortex - so incredibly cool 😊
@@JaniceFung I was riding it up and down. Glad to learn that you did so too
@@JaniceFung A side trivia, when Jewel first open in Apr 2019, only transit visitors could ride the SkyTrain and go up close to the rain vortex. Somewhere in mid July 2019, they opened this option to the public too
@@SuccessforLifester oh interesting! i didnt know that.
how do the public get access to the SkyTrains though? i thought these could only be accessed in the transit areas?
@@JaniceFung The SkyTrain does run between terminals in the public domain. Just that initially I don't know why it cannot go through Jewel. I was disheartened initially. But in July 2019 I took it randomly and was surprised now it ran through the rain vortex for public side too. A small joke, when I first went to Jewel, I asked the concerige so where was the arrival and departure hall? I was told there wasn't any. It is a shopping mall!
I got a chuckle out of the movie theatre part, it turned into a layover sleeping spot lol! But the butterfly garden and the waterfall scene wow :O
yeahh at least could view it from the skytrain ^^ ohh so the airline didn't make any mistake again? dang! haha
Haha yeah the views were pretty cool!
And no... no more mistakes from the airline 😔
You should go Singapore Luck Plaza or Far East Plaza in Ochard at Sunday early noon, is more fun than Jewel.. 😂
I’m sorry this happened, but so grateful you shared this with us all. My wife and I were in Singapore last March and it wasn’t opened yet (I could be totally wrong too lol). I have the opportunity to go back in April with a co-worker who wanted to day trip to Singapore from KL. He doesn’t know but most of my willingness to do this long day trip is because I really want to see the jewel there. Sorry #avgeek at heart lol. I would have completely assumed the same as you, go thru immigration and into the secured zone. Thank you for this! You’re a travel hero for taking one for the team and sharing this lesson. Safe travels!!!
Not stupid: meeting up with my wife in SINGAPORE: she flew in from Cambodia (Terminal 1) and I from USA (Terminal 3)- I forgot that my baggage was in Terminal 3 after meeting her at her arrival in Terminal 1. Luckily I figured out the free WiFi (use the Kiosk with your passport) so we could communicate while I figured out how to get through customs - get baggage - then take all my stuff to Terminal one (where her luggage was).... Modern security creates these new “problems”. Great video.
Hello there! I guess UA-cam do know how to link your video (I just came home to Singapore from Sydney) and I'm thankful for that. You are incredibly positive. I wouldn't know what I will do if I'm in that situation. Keep going, very good informative video~
hello! i'm glad you liked the video :)
were you in sydney for a holiday? hope you had a good one!!
Very informative video specially for first time travellers .. also a time saving tip that v can c the jewel changi thru the sky trains .. thanks for sharing your experience!
Is ok dear, there always another time, we see you again in the near future 😊

THE CARD TO BUY FOOD helps the hawkers not having to touch money, which is dirty. And they would not have to spend time changing money. Just swipe and go.
😂😂😂 I'll visit Jewel Changi on your behalf next week...
Lol thanks mate 😂
All those places you visited in transit, I have not been before as a local. So you did get to experience something most of the locals don't. 🙂
It was actually amazing! ☺️it’s no wonder it’s been worlds best airport for so many years !
Next time you fly check-in a few hours early so you have time to explore all 3 terminals facilities.
@@seeweek409 That is a good suggestion but habit of a local is to check in based on boarding time. Ended up never explore all these places before 😂
