Are you planning a vacation in Singapore? On our pages you will find hotel reviews and tips on what to do in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a nation where you can also find the best airport in the world.
In this article:
Changi Airport not only offers Free city tours for stopover passengers, but proposes A structure like the Jewel, where you can do literally anything, even those things that at other airports are only in the dream book.
If you depart from this airport, a visit to the Jewel is a must, and we are not talking about a touch-and-go, but an essential stop on any trip transiting this area of the Malaysian peninsula. And one of the most useful services, in addition to the Priority Pass lounge, è the ability to check in directly from here without having to drag your luggage all the way to the airport.
How early check-in works
If, normally, passengers can go to the check-in counters only 3 hours before take-off, this service allows passengers to check their bags and pick up their boarding passes up to 24 hours before departure.
This means that one will be able to relieve oneself of burdens the day before departure and live in peace on the last day of the vacation. Similarly, in the case of a short stay in Singapore, one can opt to pack one's bags as soon as one lands and get around the city without any burdens or worries.
After checking in at Jewel (remember: at least 3 hours before departure time), you can proceed to immigration control at T1, T2 or T3, regardless of which airline you are departing with, except for AirAsia and Jetstar passengers. Those departing with AirAsia or Jetstar, must go through security and immigration control at T4.
