Changi Airport/Instagram

Jewel Changi Airport is our favourite haunt for a bite at the likes of Shake Shack and Burger & Lobster, to soak in the view of the Shiseido Forest Valley and HSBC Rain Vortex, or to simply stroll through the numerous shops.

And now for us travel-starved folks, the airport has rolled out various glamping experiences that make for a unique staycation and (sort of) quell our wanderlust.

Plus: book between Nov 20 and 26, and you’ll get exclusive discounts, too.

Great for families, there are various packages to choose from.
