Check Out Changi Airport: More Than Just Travelling

Put the disappointment aside due to the cancelled travel plans as there is so much more to Changi Airport than you thought.

When the pandemic hit, almost everyone was upset as travel plans had to be cancelled. This also means no more flights departing, no more sunny beaches and luxury hotels. The airport was almost empty.

Most people associate the airport with flights and travelling, however there is so much more to Singapore’s Changi Airport. Apart from the countless number of retail and F&B outlets, visitors can expect art installations, and attractions for families.
