When it concerns stopovers, I can’t think of any destination much more optimal than Singapore.
Every time we’re planning a trip to Europe or Australia and we can’t find an budget-friendly direct flight, we always try to find one that makes a connection in Singapore. In fact, all our layovers in our past three trips to Europe have all been at Changi Airport. Of course, Singapore is a destination in its own right, but it also makes for one of the best stopovers in the world.
For starters, it is home to, without any doubt, the best airport in the world, brimming with facilities that make even the most uneventful layover not just comfortable but unforgettable. The city state is also pretty small, which makes many of its attractions easily available from the airport. Whether you’re spending a few hours or a few nights, you’ll effortlessly find something to enjoy.
If you’re planning on making a layover or a stopover in Singapore, here are some suggestions on how to make your stay a enjoyable and budget-friendly one.

1. finding low-cost flights with value Alliance
First things first: flights.
One thing I’ve been thankful for about being based in Southeast Asia is our terrific selection of inexpensive carriers. It’s easy to find low-cost short-haul or medium-haul flights. but for long-haul flights, if you want to keep the costs down, you will need to make a connection somewhere.
Fortunately, there’s now value Alliance, an alliance of budget-friendly airlines — Cebu Pacific Air, CebGo, Jeju Air, Nok Air, NokScoot, and Scoot — which will allow you to book both legs of the journey on just one website.
Scoot is the only budget airline that directly connects Singapore to Athens or Berlin. If you want to fly to Europe, you can search value alliance for low-cost flights including a connecting flight to Singapore! Scoot also flies to numerous destinations in Australia and across Asia.

2. Changi airport Attractions
If you’re on a layover for only a few hours, you can easily kill time without going out of the airport. I mean, the Singapore Changi airport isn’t the world’s best airport for no reason! From its broad range of shops to a delicious selection of restaurants, you’ll find a lot of things to keep you busy. get comfy in one of its lounges or play Xbox Kinect or one of their Arcade machines at the home entertainment Deck at terminal 2.
You can also catch a film for totally free at the airport’s 24-hour film theaters! check the screening schedule here.
If you want a full rejuvenation after your flight, you can even get a shower or a body massage, nail care and other medspa services for a fee. If you don’t want to spend, you’ll find totally free massage chairs scattered around the terminal. There’s even a swimming pool with jacuzzi at terminal 1!
But the jewel of the airport these days is recently unveiled rain Vortex. At 40 meters tall, it is the largest indoor waterfall in the world. It’s located at jewel Changi, attached to the terminal 1 building, but easily available on foot from terminal 2 or 3.
If you’re at the airport in the evening, you can catch the Light and sound show which happens every hour from 7:30pm until 12:30am.
3. totally free Singapore trip from the Airport
If you have at least 5 and a half hours, you can also join a totally free SINGAPORE TOUR! choose between a heritage tour, which will take you to the cultural districts, and a city sights tour, which showcases the city’s modern wonders! The car will pass through or pass by many places and will stop only at a couple of attractions. here are the itineraries:

Make sure you have your passport, boarding passes and visa (if applicable). Filipinos don’t need visa for this.
4. Changi Stopovers: hotel + transfER + SIM -pakke
Visste du at du kan bestille en Hotel + Transfer + SIM -kortpakke med Changi -stopovers? Hvis du ikke vil takle å ta vare på disse individuelt, kan du bestille en pakke før turen så lavt som SGD 63.
Hvis du vil tilbringe minst en natt i byen, kan du bestille et hotell eller herberge. Men med Changi -mellomlandinger kommer det med en overføring og en sim som du kan innløse på flyplassen. Innløsningsinstruksjonene vil bli sendt til deg via e -post etter bestilling.
Ved ankomst er det første du burde gjøre å kreve SIM -kortet på den spesifiserte standen. Når du har simmen, fortsett til bakken med concierge for overføringen. Personalet vil gi deg en billett, og en skytteltjeneste kommer snart for å hente deg og ta deg rett til hotellet ditt.
Men vurder stedet. Fordi du bare vil være i Singapore for et stoppested, vil du ikke bruke den lille tiden du har på transitt. Hvis Chinatown er det du vil utforske, vil du finne mange alternativer der. Hvis det er Kampong Glam du vil se mye mer av, velger du et hjem i eller rett rundt området. Hotel -sjef er for eksempel bare en kort spasertur fra Kampong Glam eller til og med Bugis -området.

5. Singapore layover -reiseruter
Det er utfordrende å tilby eksempler på reiseruter fordi flyplanene varierer. Hva du kan gjøre på en dag, avhenger selvfølgelig av hvor mye tid du har og hvilken tid flyet ditt er planlagt. Men her er noen attraksjoner du kan sjekke ut.
Chinatown. Singapores Chinatown kan skilte med multireligiøse bygninger, og hvis oppholdet ditt er på dagtid, kan du til og med gå inn i noen av dem. Fra flyplassen, bare ta MRT til Chinatown eller Telok Ayer Station. Mye mer detaljer her: Chinatown Heritage Walk.
Singapore River Walk. Du kan gå fra Raffles Place til Merlion Park til Esplanade til Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. Jeg har utarbeidet et mye mer omfattende innlegg, inkludert veibeskrivelse og bilder her: DIY Singapore River Walk.
Hager ved bukta. Den har tre hovedområder: Blomsterkuppelen, skyskogen og Supertree Grove med de 16-etasjers menneskeskapte trærne.
Marina Bay Sands Skypark. Selv om du ikke tilbringer en natt på Marina Bay Sands, kan du fremdeles få tilgang til Skypark- og observasjonsdekket for en fantastisk uhindret utsikt over byen.
Kampong glam. Det er det eldste urbane kvartalet i byen og ble tildelt de malaysiske og arabiske samfunnene tilbake på dagen. Det er mange kulturelle nettsteder å se her inkludert den vakre graffiti, Arab Street og Sultan -moskeen. Det ligger også ved siden av Bugis, et kjent shoppingområde.
Universal Studios Singapore. Sørøst -Asias første filmpark, kan USS lett spise opp en hel dag. Det ligger på Sentosa Island.
Sentosa. Denne feriestedet sprenger med spennende eventyr for hele familien inkludert Luge, Tiger Sky Tower, Sentosa Merlion og kabel -TV -bilen. Forsiktig, fordi du kanskje glemmer å se tiden når du er her!
Men forventer at du har en hel dag, kan du også kombinere disse hvis du har mye mer tid. Hvis mulig, velg attraksjoner som er nær hverandre eller er på samme MRT -linje. Her er noen anbefalinger:
Chinatown + Merlion Park + Esplanade
Gardens by the Bay + Marina Bay Sands Skypark
Universal Studios Singapore + Sentosa
Kampong Glam + Bugis + Chinatown
Jeg anbefaler bare å skyve en eller to og bruke mye mer tid per stopp. because you’re on a layover, you probably want to take it slow and not burn all your energy immediately.
We’ll be creating much more messages about layovers or stopovers in Singapore, so be sure to check back in the future!
