- Yes, Changi Airport is 100% one of the best airports in the world, there are few places that compare BUT from having this experience, there are some things I would have planned differently! Hope you enjoy the tour around and make the most of your next trip there!

*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad.

we are back in number one qatar was only 1 year!
Hi Alina, glad you loved the airport. I retired 10 years ago after working in the airport for 36 years.
We wanted the world to appreciate the airport and it is really touching that a seasoned traveller like you liked it.
Please keep coming....
That’s amazing, thank you!
Well, I guess After You Retired the Airport hired ALL the little Stinky full of SHEET Stinky little people that seem to be FULL of their OWN SHEET. The "fame" truly went to to their STINKY little heads. LOL, POOR LOSERS.
I've traveled through both Doha and Singapore Changi Aiport, and will say that I personally loved the latter. It's more than just an airport, it's a tropical oasis. Amazing video!
Ooo I really want to check out Doha to compare!
I prefer Singapore, hands down. I've travelled many times through both airports, and Singapore is the world's greatest airport, in my humble opinion.
@@AlinaMcleod Doha airport is big with nice amenities but kinda "cold" and the immigration officers are rude AF. Also, the airport has built a little gardens by the bay but they claim they have it first when Gardens by the Bay Sg has been there way before Doha new airport is built.
I love Doha airport. It’s big but somehow very comfy and convenient. Will check out Singapore in a couple weeks time and will be able to compare 😁 Saying that, flying to Singapore through Doha so will refresh my memories of Doha too 😁😁😁
@@chalayan How interesting 🤔 I guess we were lucky as everyone was so nice and welcoming to us in Qatar. One of my memories of Qatar is how lovely people are there.
Sorry to hear about the troubles at Changi Airport, Alina. Glad to know that the airport staff was helpful during your departure to Japan. Thank you for sharing your experience and tips. Wishing you a smooth travel experience in the future.
When I had a layover due to a bad storm, I just slept on airport lounge bench because I didn’t want to pay for a hotel when my rescheduled flight was due in a couple of hours! Sometimes you have to put up with a situation beyond the airline’s control. Changi Airport has a thoughtful, modern design and its waterfall and rainforest cenrepiece is a unique attraction. Alina, you don’t normally show airports, there’s usually nothing special about them but the exception here is Changi manages to be the top airport in the world for good reason. It was unforgettable leaving it for Osaka!
If you are in China, there are many inexpensive hotels near the airport, and the hotel has a free car to pick up and drop off. You just need to book the hotel on your mobile phone.
1. Singapore Changi Airport: Singapore's Changi Airport, known for its stunning indoor waterfall, is top of Skytrax's 2023 ranking of the world's best airports.15 Mar 2023
The world's best airports for 2023, according to Skytrax | CNN
I can see why you would live in Singapore Alina,I think I would too,it looks fabulous,the terminal is outrageous and funicular,excellent architecture ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Hi Alina, I just discovered you channel and absolutely fell in love with your content :)
Hey Alina, Singapore Changi Airport has been named the Best Airport in the World 2023 by Skytrax yesterday. I hope you enjoy your trip in Japan, another beautiful country and sleep well.
I have been to Changi Airport when I transited a connected flight. After getting off a flight from Guangzhou to Singapore, I stayed at Changi airport for about 6 hours before returning home to Perth.
Inside the airport, they have food court upstairs, while downstairs they have some duty free items there.
I will fly to Japan and Singapore in the mid of August and I was excited about Singapore Airport until I watched your video. Thanks for a heads up
It is an phenomenal airport, the best I’ve been to OTHER than the sleeping options.
Changi Airport is amazing but you saw way more of it than I did. When I landed cleared customs etc and got to luggage pickup maybe 15 minutes or so after arrival they had unload all luggage from the carousel and had staff looking after same. Never have I had my luggage waiting for me with such a speedy entry. I really felt that Changi was like a high class shopping centre with an airport included. I was told the Changi and two other airports actively compete for title of best airport in world and that really shows. Singapore doesn't like coming second so they upgrade to try to regain first place if they lose first place status. Thanks for showing me more than I saw when I was physically there.
" Untill then keep being your own kind of beautiful" - the line is a 🔥.
The Changi airport is so amazing!❤❤
2:58 Having a knowledgeable employee that actually wants to help you can make or break your experience at Singapore's airport. I was just there and because of an employee that clearly wasn't interested in helping I ended up losing 6 crucial hours during an 18 hour layover. I finally found a nice employee that provided the information I was looking for and was able to salvage some time but I missed out on what could have been an amazing trip.
Hi! I worked at the airport before and here are some tips for places to sleep! even though you cleared the immigrations at T1, you are able to transit between terminals via the skytrain (or shuttle bus in the midnight), there are "sleep/snooze lounges" across all 4 terminals. best places are typically the one closest to the gates. if my memory didn't fail me the quietest and biggest lounge is at T3! Hope to see you again in SG!
Very good to know, thank you!
Thanks for the video. Very informative. We're in Singapore at the moment & might check it out. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Kim Wilde when she was young. Very beautiful !!
We ended up going to the airport that afternoon, we were there for about 4 hrs. We watched the light show @ 8pm, very spectacular, but only went for about 5 minutes. Thanks again for the very comprehensive video that convinced us to go !! 👍👌
Yes, that waterfall is beyond gorgeous, and at Christmas time their tree was spectacular.
Hello Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a super fantastic day! This really is a excellent video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇸🇬✈️🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! Changi Airport looks absolutely amazing! The Jewel Terminal is truly magnificent! Also the food at the Hoshino Coffee restaurant and the airport lounge looks delicious! I would definitely like to see Changi Airport one day. It looks really fantastic! Thank you very much Alina to share with us this marvelous video! You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆✨🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful marvelous magnificent blessed day. Take care and be safe Alina. 😊🙏❤️👋👍✨🌟
Keep traveling Alina and stay safe -
Excellent review
Alina, Love your material. I was amused that you simply did not stay in your hotel and simply get up early and head to Changi? Hopefully you will take that route next time through SIA? Good Luck, TimE
Yes, very familiar, been there many times. Did you go to the restaurant area that's up the stairs \ escalator on the left? - where you choose your dish, go to the cashier and then present your chit.
PS: I presume you checked the short stay hotel at the airport.
It’s just regained the top spot for best airport this year. :)
I was here in 2019 i think it's the best airport in the World, i hope you a nice trip in japan,
Youssef from Morocco ☺️
Thank you!
I enjoyed Singapore and I loved their airport.
Regarding the sleep lounge... i think the idea of having it in an open area is security. If dark and tucked away in some corner, might be a bit scary for some. Just my thoughts.
Why would we even listen to skytrak? I was in Qatar just before covid hit. unless they doing it up since, sorry skytrak I disagree. I think Qatar is a dump compare to Singapore. Im not talking on behalf of everyone, it is just my personal opinion.
Personally I have never seen such a beautiful airport! It is really fantastic and the tropical forest just amazing. Very sorry for the inconvenience you had. The most important think is that everything went well. Great video and thank you very much Alina for sharing.
It truly is. Thank you!
Come here in the Philippines. It’s amazing, the views are breathtaking.
I'm looking forward to seeing you post videos from Japan. I'll bet there are awesome restaurants there! Good beer too.
🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🌹🕊️
Wow Alina what an airport! I have never seen anything like it. Sorry you were unable to find a sufficient place to get some sleep though. Looking forward to your mech video. Stay safe and well.
Wow nice place ma'am very nice take care ma'am 😊
Changi Airport just regained its status as best airport in the world.
Changi has gain back their crown as best airport in the world 😂❤
Enjoy your Japan trip… one of my fav places for food along with Barcelona, Tuscany & Istanbul
The Changi airport is so amazing excellent video
Hey Alina. Glad your Scoot booking went through eventually. Well agreed about the Waterfall inside the Jewel! Today I revisited Singapore after almost 7 years. And man it is a sight to behold. 😲 i skipped all other paid attractions at the Jewel though 😆
Thanks for the video! I'd highly recommend a thin inflatable camping sleep pad. It saved my life on my trip to Thailand that had three layovers...
Thank you for your sharing and contribution.
The bright lighting must be for security cameras to film any thieves clearly.
Alluring,all the best.shamim🤱💞🎯🤝
Happy Tuesday, Alina!
Same to you!
@@AlinaMcleod Thank you!
Welcome and enjoy, have fun😊😉
❤ lovely information. Love you Alina
Sorry to hear that you had issues with check in at the airport.
You should have crossed immigrations after 8pm and caught the lightshow at the waterfall. 😅
As of this comment, Changi has regained pole position. Lol
Lucky for me, Jewel is my neighbourhood mall. And I don't enjoy the walking nets. Prefer the bouncing nets. Lol
I’m a singaporean my whole life and I come here almost maybe every week or month and I still have not seen or finished the whole of jewel
Fair
We are back to number one!!
I'm a freelance contractor with a company that contributes to one small part of the airport experience (though I'm from another non-airport related department). Glad you enjoyed the overall exploration... I'm so sorry for the check-in glitch & sleep experience.
great thank you, from vietnam
Alina,The airport in Singapore is just amazing with so many great attractions to walks around the terminal for passengers to have great times.Thanks you so much for this remarkable video today’s from Singapore City, Singapore in March of 2023❤❤❤I wish you good LUCK always in Southeast Asia 2023❤❤❤❤
It is the best airport in the world again according to Skytrax
I was at Changi last march and it was a dismal place to spend 7 hours or so ,not many resturants open ,dark with one terminal closed ,on the spot info given by someone shouting for passengers at the gate .Seems better now though .
How was Scoot airlines? Its the cheapest of the airlines right. someone let me know.
My experience was pretty good. The food was sub par and you're not supposed to bring your own, so that's a downside.
You don’t need to be 3 hours in advance in Changi. 1.5 hours is more than plenty of time. Typical security and outbound customs is less than 10 minutes…
learning a lot , about the Changi Airport transit. useful... when travelling through the Singapore Airport
Alina, Thanks you so much for your new remarkable video today’s from Singapore International Airport in March of 2023 to explains how things works @ the terminal in Singapore 2023❤❤❤
Alina,The airport in Singapore city, Singapore is a Paradise with so many great things its offers for tourists to visits.I hope more new videos are coming up soon this week in Singapore March of 2023❤❤❤Congratulations to you for this remarkable video from Southeast Asia 2023❤❤❤
That was my experience too in Changi Airport . Overall nice place but not good sleeping options , also the Jewel opens only at 11 AM so anybody who depart the airport before that have no chance to see the waterfall .
Interesting, I didn’t know it wasn’t open in the morning
@@AlinaMcleod you can go anytime, the forest area is open all the time. but most of the shops open between 10-11am and the waterfall doesn't start working until 11am.
Just saying , You are sooo beautiful Alina , and dress great. Of course love the content and coverage in all your videos.
Alina, it is one of our favorite airports without a doubt. To try to get some sleep at any airport is a challenge. So sorry, it didn't work for you. Changi Airport is an airport to experience, the waterfall
walking Netty or the gardens. Hope you were able to recover quickly before you landed in Japan. Looking forward to so much great content from Japan . You are the best. Sending you much
love and affection 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Changi Airport regains crown, named world’s best airport 2023 by Skytrax for the 12th time.
Hi Alina,
it looks like You have no fears of hight 🙂
Too bad, You had a hard night! Overall the Airport looks more like a mall to me than an airport.
Best regards, Ralf
I could certainly relate to your sleepless overnight. Airplane white noise is much more tolerable than airport noise. Hope you had a better night sleep during the flight.
Changi is still number one in 2023 , u can see it on skytrax
I could see you had an amazing time at the airport except for the sleeping arrangements available there. I wish you had a sound good night sleep😒. Hopefully, Japan has provided you a warm welcome.... excited to see that in your upcoming vlogs, Alina...!!! Sending positive vibes your way.......
It certainly has. Thank you!
I just payed the money to stay in a room at airport hotel .. yes it’s very expensive but I didn’t want to be a Zombie.. I just know how horrible I would feel with the ongoing flight without some sleep
That's what I wish I would have done!
It is voted the vest world airport by Skytek few days ago.
It clinched back the top spot again this year :)
Hoi, Alina, really special to follow. Been to SIA a couple of times, you know. Scoot is also checked here, just by coincidence, out of SIA!.. Had to deal every biz day with things like this. Who will understand all these issues?. Anyway well done work, as usual. Japan is also on the map, more, please!.
You're amazing, Alina, love to explore Changi!#
wow Changi airport has changed! last time i was there there was allot construction. now i know what they rennovate
Terminal 123 are linked even though u pass through security. Just need to find your way there.
Hi madam good evening I'm happy to see you good health and safe and thanks for sharing this video GodBless yuo allways
Nice 👍👍
Wow!!!!..what a waterfall...beautiful
Hola alina McLeod nice tour in the airport, although no dormiste well and tenias frio but was una buena adventure y te miras bonita! con tus lentes
Awesome review. I have liked and subscribed!
Poor Alina, try the best sleeping area indeed!# Take care, haha, make the most in Japan.
You are quite traveled. I enjoyed your videos. Consider Kenya next😅
Very nice video
The Jewel is actually built for the local residents and tourists are the collateral beneficiaries. The airport is where there is a high concentration of capital but one of the lowest population density places in Singapore. After spending hundreds of million to connect the train to the airport, the gov decided to develop the airport into a lifestyle location to divert the weekend crowds from the usual few places. This helps to make Singapore feel less crowded.
Alina, thk u for visiting Singapore, hope u enjoyed your stay, God blessed.. 😊
we didn't realise you had to pay to go on the overhead net thing. seems pretty pricey, but it looks like a fun activity
Hi Alina. I've been through Changi a few times a long time back. Not sure but the amusement centre seems new (and interesting). I shall share this video with my Singaporean friend and see if anything gets done with the snooze area 😄. No, she doesn't work at the airport.
Haha they should really do something about it
@@AlinaMcleod Yes, for sure.
You could take the sky train inside the airport to terminal 2 and 3 , there is a area which is nice to sleep in and is quiet and not so bright but I had forgotten in which terminal
Sleep lounge placement was a ridiculous mistake by Changi Airport
Right??
Had the same issue's just last week:)
3 movies in a row provided a bit of a rest..
Overall the Airport is amazing
But it is. Changi has been re-named the “world’s best airport” (for a record 12th time) not 24 hours ago by Skytrax.
Yes, I was going to say that but got caught up reading the comments till yours. I'm glad you put that in.👍
Very nice video❤❤
Changi Airport is so good that we locals also go there to shop or dine at the many restaurants at Jewel, T1, T2 or T3 there.
Hi Alina. I know Changi is realy the most beautiful and mazing airport in the world. Always take good care of yourself, Alina. Always be nice nd most of all stay healthy, beautiful and down to earth. How is your Daddy? Where is he now?
He’s all good, back in Canada now!
Luggage check in is done before going through Immigration. So you could check in you luggage 19 hours earlier, then go back to your hotel and Sleep. wake up the next morning not needing to go 3 hours earlier to check in your luggage. With online check in you can show up 45 mins before your flight. I did something like this 2 weeks ago !
Alina you are so beautiful física end soul too ❤
You can always stay at cheap Hotels around Alujneid or Geylang for about $99 SGD for one night (Hotel 81 or Fragrance Hotel come to mind ) which always have staff at reception and can get you a cab to the airport for abour $28SGD, or even cheaper as there will be no traffic at 3am..
Changi Airport just became the best airport in the world again recently. 😁
I have a 10 lay over in a month at Changi Airport
Hey, is it just me or is Alina breathtakingly, ridiculously good-looking?
To my eyes, she looks gorgeous in glasses, and absolutely fantastic even when tired!
And I have a feeling she smells absolutely heavenly too!
Agree with you about how gorgeously beautiful she is.
But that bit about how she smells was a bit weird, mate. Can't decide if it was creepy or not. 🤔
@@BorClimey Why do you think it's creepy?
You reckon it's cool to remark on her looks but not her smell?
It's all about what a pleasure she is to the senses innit? I'm sure she tastes yummy too.
Admit it. You're wondering about her smell and taste too. 🙂
I don't mean any disrespect at all. I find her very likeable and I enjoy watching her videos and part of it is because of how insanely attractive she is.
Wow what an airport 😮
I can totally understand the living in Singapore thing. We went there in Feb 2020 just before covid and we can back in love with the place. ❤ Although I’m not sure we massively loved Changi a huge amount. It had a strange 70’s kitch vibe to it I felt. Especially the carpet. Although the men’s urinals facing the runway was pretty cool, although maybe not for the people in plane on the other side 😂. We also noticed a distinct lack a comfy chairs…
