This is a continuation of The 19-hour Travel Nightmare post.
To better understand my story, click here first! :)
On our second lay-over in Singapore, Ed and I spent the night at Ambassador Transit Hotel just as planned. When I woke up the next day, I hoped the travel nightmare was merely just a nightmare. Then, reality came rushing and slapped me on the face! We're stuck in Changi Airport!! Ouch! So, you think Ed and I would sulk at the corner, weeping and drying each other's tears? Nope, we're better than that! We came up with a Plan B! :) We grabbed some guide books and created an epic impromptu itinerary INSIDE Changi Airport!
Singapore's Changi Airport is one of the bests in the world! In fact, it is considered to be a five star airport and has won several awards, including "The Best Airport in Asia". Let me show you why you don't need to worry when you're stuck at Changi Airport for hours.

Being stuck in an airport may sound horrible, well not if you're in Changi! I departed Singapore and arrived in Dubai with a relaxed mind and a smile on my face! Oh and a happy pocket too as all attractions are free and the food are very affordable! :) I do love Changi Airport, but once is enough. Never again shall I spend 19 long hours inside an airport terminal. I've learned a lesson from the travel nightmare that I have created myself. I hope you did as well.

Sayang, we did not roam around Changi Airport the last time we went to Singapore. What is also admirable are the employed senior citizens who are given the opportunity to still work and earn some cash for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very good alternative after you failed from plan A. I didn't realized that there are so much to do in Changi Airport. That airport is simply amazing. World class! :)
ReplyDeletewow... parang staycation lang but only so much better. kudos to you and your husband for not wallowing inside your hotel room. haha! sulit nga naman because you were able to explore the attractions the airport had to offer.
ReplyDeletewow! parang hindi naman boring ma stranded sa changi airport maraming dapat gawin.. the place is worth exploring...
ReplyDeleteWow! Now, that's a great airport. Truly made to make travellers at ease even if they get stuck there. Lots of activities, even my kids won't get bored.
ReplyDeleteWith all the attractions they have right inside the airport, it looked like you had a free tour also. :-) Not really that bad being stuck for hours seeing that there are so many things to keep you entertained.
ReplyDeleteThat was not boring at all! LOL
ReplyDeleteIs it all for free? I like Plan Bs, most of the time, it outdo the Plan A.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are no fees for the attractions. :)
