'The airport where you walk on a carpet' this is exactly what i was thinking when i went to Singapore for the first time. I was in awe! Definitely will come to visit again, what an amazing country
One of the best Airport I have ever travelled, even while traveling from Dubai to Bombay, I use to travel Via Singapore as I love the Airport and the place, as I have worked with Singapore Airlines for 30 years, one of the best airline of the world
Thanks for such s detailed video. We haven't been to Singapore for about 8 years but I see it is still super efficient and a great airport. Looking forward to our trip early next year. Cheers.
That's some brief and exact information about terminal 1. Regrets for your vape bro. Ever since I have read about vape ban in SIN, I am thinking what should I do for my three day tour because my next destination is Australia which is relatively good for vapers.
If you can get one that you can dismantle into different pieces and store them separately and not in the same place. They scan your bags for something that looks like a vape. I would even get a tank that you can put into separate pieces. Once you done that you should be fine. Dont vape in Singapore though. :)
As a Singaporean here would like to say thank you to everyone complementing the airport :) Is it really that great hahaha!!!! In other case Jewel Changi Airport just opened slightly over a week ago and it's an AWESOME place so do visit :)!!! It's just beside terminal 1
Awesome video. On my flight in December I'll have a 20 hour layover in Singapore, what would you recommend I go out and see? I don't need a visa and im flying from Berlin to Melbourne with Scoot so I think my flight is in one ticket so I don't have to worry about my luggage
I can recommend everything in Singapore. easy to navigate and to get where you want with the MRT. The Garden by the sea is great. Loved it. Get a ticket a for both of these houses as these have a different setting. one is more a plain landscape. the other one a rainforest with rainfall. Little India over Little China. But both are great for sightseeing. for shopping defo Mustafa shopping centre. Its not the typical highstreet mall. Its just like everything and has an all you can eat Indian restaurant on the top floor. Singapore airport also has a cinema. you might want to use it as well. Clark quay and Boat quay for strolling around and to get a pitcher of beer. We Germans do love our beer, don't we? :)
If you have at least 5.5 hours to 24 hours to spare till your connecting flight, you can avail free 2.5-hour guided tours, just inquire at the information at the airport. Enjoy Singapore! 🇸🇬
It's quite informative. Much appreciated from you. Could you please give me a detailed information. Do I have to pass through immigration counter in Changi airport while transiting on a separate tickets? I intend to fly from Japan with Singapore airline and connect with Ethiopian airline in Changi airport to my final destination. Thanks in advance.
This is very bad news for my wife who is a smoker ( I am not ) . So even in the big suitcase you can not bring any cigarettes? We will be in a Singapore-Bali trip for 11 days, and a pack of cigarettes in our country is 4 EUR, and here 23USD (huge price) . Good information, thank you
Hi, you are not allowed to bring any cigarettes at all. But the Singapore prices are not as high as 23 USD. I remember them being less then 10 USD. But I just asked a local friend to confirm how much they are now exactly.
This is really a helpful video for people like who has never been to Singapore and on top of that havent been on major trip overseas in almost 20 years. Summer 2020 i plan to visit my longdistance relationship girlfriend so thx for sharing the airport experience. On thing is for sure im going to guard my suitcase like a paranoid maniac im going there to vist my girlfriend not to end up with a rope around my neck.
Not sure what exactly you are asking. if you want to use your home credit or debit card and the S$: not a problem. If you want to use cash and exchange it to S$: I have not seen such a facility. with cash: I would exchange only a small amount at the airport and change the rest later in the city. with ATM: it doesnt matter were you use them as the echange rate is not set by the ATM (unless you chose direct currency conversion, which you should never ever do!)
Use international bank card, like HSBC or Standard Chartered, they will probably offer cheaper service charge or free. If you use their own ATM, but subject to local conversion rate and charges. As my understand, need to be activated at your own location before travelling.
Sir, I have one doubt.. can I withdraw some cash before immigration ? Coz I will be carrying only forex card with me from ma country..if immigration officer asked to show any cash then ??
If you have any kind of credit card with you and can show the available balance you will be fine with no cash at all. As long as you dont look like the last hippie that got lost for 4 years in the jungle they will most likely not ask to proof available money. You already paid the airfare which means that you have some money anyway.
There is no restriction of cash amount you can bring into Singapore, but please declare to the custom if you bring in more than $20,000 Singapore dollar. Welcome to Singapore !
Don't worry they don't ask how much is your cash....there are many money changers at the airport....we are here for vacations always coz my 3 kuds live here....
This video very helpful to me ,i waiting my Travel alone there on 19th Dis 19 and this is my first time to go there without friend and i hope i can find the Terminal Imegresen check.. it's too big airport .. Hopefully i wil not loss my way to find main exit😂
@@FlightBlog may i ask something, after go out from plane,just go straight or have another side way? I forgot in every junction at airport Changi.my last travel 3 years ago So I'm not remember everything 😅
I'm from India. I'm travelling to Sydney. My layover is in Changi airport and changeover from terminal 4 to Terminal 1. Should I apply for a transit visa or is it fine?
I am not the immigration office of Singapore. Only they will be able to confirm details. You can also check IATA's Timatic service. Which airlines use to determine at check-in if you need a specific visa or travel document. You can use for example the one from United Airlines, regardless if you fly with them or not. www.united.com/web/en-US/apps/vendors/default.aspx?i=TIMATIC
I have a 19 hour layover in Singapore, and I plan to go look around all the terminals before I get out of the airport in the morning for sightseeing before my flight to Bali. Is it possible to go in all the terminals before the immigration? And where can I get the info for visa when I want to get out of the airport during my layover?
You can easily move between terminals before immigration. But if your flight to Bali is not on the same ticket you should proceed ASAP to pick up your check in baggage. You will find information about any visa requirements on the official website for the Singapore immigration.
i don't understand why they sell thing that you can't bring in ....? So you waste $$ money on e-cigarette I've fly SG many years ago I'll be back in Aug with my honey BUT how can I get around ? In some TH-cam said car rental is very expensive , they'll not recommend
You might get lucky and your luggage will not be screened. But I wouldnt bet on it. electronic cigarettes / vapes are in Thailand illegal as well. At lest in Singapore you only risk to lose your vape. There is no fine when caught at customs. Not sure what the fine will be when caught on the street.
A Singaporean here. I know this is late but for future visits, you can install Grab from Google Play. Grab is the SEA version of Uber. Just an account with your google account and add in money either by Visa or Mastercards or pay the driver using SGD cash. grab is pretty handy when you're travelling around Singapore if you dont wish to use the public transport.
The guy illegally films in the immigration line and then in the customs office and yet he chastises the other guy who tried to cut him off in the immigration line. Now, that’s chutzpah. And in Singapore breaking the law usually comes with series repercussions.
Also, It is illegal as to not reveal any technology or internal processes. And you will never see such things in my videos. All you can see is the same as you could see with you own eyes. And last time I checked using your own set of eyes were not forbidden. But you probably know because you have been to SG multiple times.
please am from Ghana to Cambodia ,and i will like to spend some weeks in Singapore before moving to Cambodia and i have a continuous ticket to Cambodia,will i be permitted to enter Singapore
I have never done that online. If any for is to be completed it is either handed out on the plane or just before immigration. You might need to apply for a visa though. And that could be done online. But it is very different to an arrival card.
No need. My experience is that questions are only asked if required because of doubt or clarify things. I have been to Singapore before. So less likely to overstay the visa.
Once arrive, can we do the shopping within airport same as departure passengers? Cus my plan to arrive Changi Airport but when leaving will be from KL, so can I go around airport once arrive?
Hi. If you are transferring between flights you can. But if Singapore is your final destination you can't. I believe it is not working as they scan your boarding pass. But there is a duty free at arrival after immigration and before customs. You can buy your stuff there. You can watch my video and you will see it.
@@Soklyneth2023 what sort of entertainment are you looking at? Generally you can tour around the landside airport before you check out of immigration, however your bags will be waiting on the other side and people don't usually walk around the airport once they arrive. They just wanna get out ASAP...
If you dont need a visa you can easily leave the airport and take the MRT to get into the city centre and do some sightseeing. If you need a visa you can stay within the airport. Plenty of things to do. As both flights are on one ticket luggage will be checke thru to Indonesia. So you only have your carry on to schlepp around.
So sorry I didn't meet your expectation of producing a perfect video with limited resources and funded by my own money. I do hope it was helpful to you and others anyway.
the camera is mounted on my carry on bag. If i move it off their and hold it in my hands it will be even more shaky. You an watch the first videos I did on his channel. Thats how they were made.
its more to show how clean the toilets are. Some people find that important. Not everyone is used to crappy toilets. The ones in Singapore were excellent though.
'The airport where you walk on a carpet' this is exactly what i was thinking when i went to Singapore for the first time. I was in awe! Definitely will come to visit again, what an amazing country
Same here. It is a great country, city and airport. I enjoy my stays there.
@@FlightBlog I Born In Singapore, Singapore Is My 'Homeland And Country'. Singapore Changi Airport Is The Best Airports Ever In The Whole World.

THE most beautiful airport by far I've ever been too anywhere in the world...Terminal 3 is the best one
I fully agree with this statement. :)
The Jewel besides Terminal 1 will open on April 17, another great reason to check out Singapore Changi Airport :)
Singapore Changi airport is amazing. Its really the best for transferring between flights.

Sir u have made nice video but there are restrictions on camera , video camera in airports.
You need suspension for your luggage. My head is bobbing up and down with the bump of your suitcase. 😀
That would be too obvious to carry around, sry mate.

Hi, If you already have your onward boarding pass you can just go to the departing gate. No need to pass immigration.
@@FlightBlog The exception is if your bags have not been tagged to your next flight.
When u mentioned the video will be mostly uncut & immediately after that u go to the toilet 🤣🤣 got me worried there
Obviously it is us much uncut as Hollywood movies are "uncut" :)

That is a question for the Immigration Authority in Singapore to answer. You can find their website at www.ica.gov.sg
U just need to declare yr next destination at the white card, and checkout from Immigration. That how i do.
Sir is true that you need to fill the arrival card online?
I have never done that online. If any for is to be completed it is either handed out on the plane or just before immigration. You might need to apply for a visa though. And that could be done online. But it is very different to an arrival card.
0:02 always see staff busy with smartphone. Play games or fill paid surveys?
Play games 😂
They're looking at their devices which gives alert on 'person with interest', who they have to approach and ask questions to.
this video is really helpful. would they confiscate also packs of cigarettes and a lighter?
Lighter no, cigarettes yes, if it is more than one pack.
where i can get the imigration card?
They are normally already handed out on the plane. In the rare case it is not, you can get one just before immigration.
