It's a popular breakfast choice or a late afternoon snack. My husband goes crazy for the delicious kaya jam.

Departing passengers travelling with participating airlines can take advantage of self-service check-in options available inside the airport. This allows passengers to acquire their boarding pass, print their bag tag, and then proceed to tag and drop off their check-in bag(s) at the Automated Bag-Drop Machine.
Make sure to check in early
Even though Changi Airport is known for its efficiency, it can get very busy with a high number of passengers each year. To avoid the evening rush, we opted to have dinner inside Jewel Airport and enjoy a relaxing conversation with friends before heading to immigration.

If Staying Overnight: Near the Airport

We stayed at Capri by Fraser and would stay again; 10/10. The area is not crowded, the hotel is family-friendly, and the rooms are spacious. They even provide baby cribs upon request. It is conveniently situated near the MRT station and the airport. Also within walking distance is a shopping mall where you can do some last-minute shopping or savour some Singaporean cuisine.
Bonus Tip: Use a Travel Packing Checklist
This is my ultimate secret to making travel hassle-free: I use a Travel Packing Checklist. This ensures I don’t forget essential items and prevents those frantic last-minute shopping trips for things I already own but left behind. I didn’t realize how much I needed this notebook; it truly keeps my journeys organized and stress-free. Check out Flying Starfish Studios for unique journals, notebooks, and planners.
Here's another special Packing checklist designed for families. It includes packing lists for babies and kids to ensure nothing is overlooked!
