Changi Airport Terminal 3

Now, this airport will put most if not all International airports to shame, this includes Dubai International Airport.
They really should have a sigh that reads «Please note, roaming and enjoying our airport might cause you miss your flight.» No kidding, you can miss flight while roaming this beautiful-​one-​of-​kind airport. From the minute you arrive to the minute you depart this is one airport you want to enjoy.
First of all, this is one easy airport to access by using MRT, the Bus system or simply by Taxi. Checking in is a breeze with so many helpful staff that are welling to happily answer your questions.
The facilities at the airport are amazing…
==Plenty of sit-​down and fast food restaurants.
==Coffee bars from Costa Coffee to Starbucks.
==Butterflies garden which is so beautiful.
==Fish pond so lovely I wish I had my fishing rod with me… lol …joke!
==Movie theater.
==Free massage chairs.
==Kids play areas.
==Traveler Hotel.
==Plenty of duty free shops.
==Plenty of high end shops.
==The restrooms are so nice and clean. Be sure to rate them… lol
==Free Wi-Fi…Just head on the information desk when you enter the airport, present your passport and they will give you user id and password, Remember, after you go through security screening, you will need new user id and password for that area, so just go to the information desk inside and they will provide you with new one.
I would have really liked to spend more time exploring this airport and check out more amenities they have to offer. Maybe next time!
Thank you Singapore!

Great size airport lots of shops and places to get some food and coffee, you can also hit up the 24hr food court or if you have more time vist the butterfly garden!

Really, one of the best and smoothest airport exit and entry I have experienced so far. A similar EU comparison would be Berlin airport, as each gate has its security and so only lines encountered are for immigration.
I think what struck me the most when I first exited from the plane and onto Terminal 3 was just how green it was, with so many plants, even a mini forest of sorts, and the soaring light filled space just filled me with energy. Very well posted signage and great bathroom facilities, with an extra space set aside for little kids and their mums. Also encountered a lot of jungle gyms and play facilities, where kids were playing away. I was traveling here in December so nice to see the understated decorations — they thankfully didn’t go overboard but the Christmas tree display was gorgeous and massive and just enough!
Immigration was a bit of a pain to be honest, but actually my fault as we changed lines x3 times in hope of finding a short one and with our luck, ended up being the last ones on our plane to exist and at the baggage carousel, it was only our lonely bags that were still circling around. But the immigration officer was super nice and because Singapore was celebrating 50 years, we got free candy (tasted very nice!).
Def love this airport!

Overall, this is a pretty clean, spacious and modern airplane terminal. I will admit, the layout of the place did confuse me for a second: Immigration checkpoint first, then find your boarding gate, then do a security check at your boarding gate and finally, chill in the your boarding gate lounge.
Before doing the security check, do note that you can be turned away if you come too early. You will need to show your passport and boarding pass before doing the security check.
If you have time to kill, I recommend walking around and trying some food at the food court! All of the food places except Burger King, requires a pre-​loaded card that you can get at the ticketing desk. For food, price ranges from $ 5−15+ SG, depending if you get the meal as a set or not. I tried the Duo Chicken Rice and it was decently tasty and filling :) There are various food and desserts, so it’s worth the walk around since this gives off the ol hawker centre like feel.
Overall, this visit to the terminal was pleasant and I would definitely would like to visit it again to see the other free features of the place.

If I were to choose an airport in which to transit in Asia, I would pick Singapore Changi International Airport. It is clean, modern, comfortable, spacious with lots of (window) shopping opportunities, family-​friendly amenities, dining options and free Wifi. Lots of restrooms/​bathrooms, trash cans and comfy seats. There’s even the SkyTrain which takes you to and from the three different terminals. Easy to navigate with huge signs in multiple languages, and many information counters/​kiosks/​screens placed strategically everywhere. You won’t be bored here, that’s for sure!

Changi has been ranked the best airport in world many times by different publications. There’s a reason for this.
1. This is one of the most beautiful airport in the world. There’s a butterfly garden and koi pond.
2. They have the most efficient immigration. You’re processed very fast.
3. Free and fast wifi.
4. Great restaurants and food in the food court. Not just sandwiches like some airports. They have local street food.
5. Better shopping here than some cities have in their malls.
6. Best service. The only other country to rival Changi’s service is Narita.
Always look forward to returning.

Changi is one of the most beautiful airports I’ve ever been to. I love that the customer service staff are all dressed in uniform, and – in my case – were not just courteous, but very knowledgable as well. They work in groups of two and tend to be multilingual.
There are lots of amenities, tons of restaurants, several lounges, and plenty of stores to shop. What’s not to like? The fact that people are always sleeping on the chairs or on the floor, that’s what. It’s mighty nice of the airport to allow them to do that, but at the same time, it begins to look like a homeless shelter between the hours of 1:00 and 6:00 a.m. I tripped over the same guy twice on my way to the washroom (didn’t want to say «rest» room). I wanted to wake him up and say «Hey! Watch where you’re sleeping!!», but it turned out the guy was my father, both times… And I don’t usually talk to my dad that way.

Love this airport and it is one of the airports where I chose to have longer layovers. They have so much to offer for the travelers. They have street food kind of setting on second level and food was decent. Love their butterfly garden, koi pond, children play area, free movie theaters and window shopping!
They have free wifi and require passport to setup one (for security purpose). I have gone to their free Singapore tour and it was so humid that I preferred being inside the bus or airport. Restrooms are clean and big. Information is available everywhere in many languages that it is hard for you to not to get lost. Have used couple of their lounges for refreshing and recommended if you are traveling elsewhere and meeting people (think about hugging and kissing people hehe).

Clean and shiny airport with a lot of shopping.
Singapore food court: 4 star for theory. 2 star for execution. You need to purchase a prepaid card in order to buy anything from the stands. All of them have pretty poor quality food as well. They charge your an arm and a leg and give you one bite of mediocre food.
Kris lounge: meh. Totally not impressed as the food was horrid and there was nothing else in the lounge.
The airport is nice and clean, but there are a lack of signage to point you to any help desks. The way the airport is set up, you have to go through security to get into the gate. This meant that I had to find a Singapore airlines desk to ask any questions. Finding the actual desk was not easy.
I didn’t do any shopping, but there are more than enough stores to keep you busy for hours. Al high end stores.

My parents and I went to Changi Airport Terminal 3 to celebrate SG50. Whenever we go to Changi Airport, our first choice will be Terminal 3 as it has a huge Kopitiam. We had fun eating and browsing the place. I took cool pictures which I like to share on Unilocal.It was a fruitful trip yesterday.

It’s Changi right? We all know this is the best airport in the world and don’t take my word for it, Google it.
T3 as those of us lucky enough to travel frequently out of here refer to this terminal, is the best and most modern of the 3 terminals. Most of the reviews have talked about the facilities and amenities here that become a lesson for other airports around the world to aspire to. My review is 5 star for all of this plus one more. The duty free area has a fantastic selection of malt whisky’s to sample whenever the shop is open. You want to try Jura at 7:30am? Go right ahead. There’s something deliciously decadent about that.

Well lighted, huge, clean complete world class amenities. Very user friendly, free wifi. The most comfortable airport i have been to.

My favourite terminal to relax and have a full body massage before a long flight. It would be better if the massage chair area is not next to hard rock café. It’s a bit hard to relax with their kind of music. Butterfly garden should be good in day time. :-)

What I like about this terminal is there is something for everyone including those going there just to chill out. At the land side, there are plenty of eating places; basement 2 and level 2 (just above the immigration — air side). I often go to Kopitiam to enjoy the popular Lai Heng Fishball Noodles which opens at certain hour of the day and Raman Champion which serves delicious Japanese noodles. When I travel, I like departing from this terminal as the air side has a proper viewing gallery to plane spot at the central apron of this terminal. Not the best, but still able to view the traffic passing by the terminal and for runway 02L/​20R action. Free WiFi is only available at the area near the air side. Unlike Seoul Incheon and Hong Kong, you have to either use your mobile number to register or get a password from the counter which is quite inconvenient.
Getting from the immigration to the gate may need some planning, as the gate allocated to your flight may be the furthest, so I always head there early. This terminal 3 isn’t as big as other airports but I enjoy the facilities and the roomy feeling this terminal gives me. Connecting from this terminal to others is easy, use the sky trains either at the air side or land side. It’s also connected to the MRT station at Basement 2. Lastly, there is a hotel — Crowne Plaza for your needs. I had stay there a few times, it’s very convenient but pricy.
Overall, terminal 3 is a great terminal to hang out with and if you are here for transit, you will enjoy it.

There is only a limited choice of restaurants and shops but fortunately it’s not a passenger crowded terminal. Facility is nice with many plants and it’s a clean terminal. Security check is fast and airport employees are friendly.

My favourite airport by far! Truly pleasant experience spending a few hours here and happy to do it more frequently. I was in T3 which is the newest terminal — I believe there is a cinema here and butterfly area which I missed this time.
Fantastic shops — cheaper than Qatar (Doha) but allowances will depend on your flight/​destination.
So:
Security — swift and efficient for exiting
Tax Free refunds — ditto, very easy (spend over $ 100 sing and have claim barcode receipt then claim at airport
Shops — great, especially the spa! Good range of designer, duty free, electronics, books, chocolates — lots!
Layout — so great. Lots of seating, power points, shops and cafes mixed rather than having to trek for miles. Lots of options to suit.
Toilets — über clean and plentiful.
Anyway — a pleasure! Happy to spend loads of time in Changi in the future :-)

Changi Airport Terminal 3 is definitely the most advanced of the three terminals at this airport. It has all the American carriers, as well as the most duty-​free shops. Here, you feel like you’re in an actual mall like the Dubai airport. And because huge planes leave from this terminal, it feels so much bigger because there isn’t gate after gate of 737s but instead takes forever to get to the next gate.
There is a Singapore Street Food food court in the center with all the duty-​free shops, and I would recommend that one. There’s also a snooze lounge and movie theater located in the same area.
There are more amenities for overnighting in the airport in Terminal 3 then in the other terminals, which I appreciated.
There is also the butterfly garden in this terminal, which is a great diversion!

Pretty neat airport that has an interesting security screening system. When you first walk into the airport, you’re definitely hit by how nice it is compared to other airports. As my Singaporean friend mentioned, when you drive in/​out of Changi, the first things you see are palm trees lining the sides and just great greenery all around. Check in was smooth and efficient, but the customs clearing process is agonizingly slow. I had five people in front of me and waited for half an hour… it wasn’t just my line either – other lines around me took just as long. My one star off is definitely the absurdly lengthy amount of time it takes to go through customs.
As for the airport itself, as everyone has mentioned, it’s really big and spacious (I believe it’s the newest relative to the other terminals), has lots of food and a million different things for you to do. I thought it was interesting that I entered the waiting area but wasn’t screened for my luggage until much later. They had a separate security screening section that served maybe around 5 gates or so. That was pretty interesting. Once you’re in there, there’s free wifi (there’s free wifi in the airport, but it requires either a phone that can take a text message, something that may not be the case if you’re traveling or you have to find an info desk or use the terminal). Free wifi was insanely fast which I loved.
tldr; all around great airport, but the immigration line takes unreasonably long – even when compared to much less efficient countries that i’ve been to.

Changi Airport Terminal 3 now officially the Airport that I want to be route through or stuck in for whatever reason.
— Great Transportation Option: MRT ($ 2.50), Taxi ($ 20), Airport Shuttle ($ 9) will take you to the City without much hassle
— Space: I never feel cramped or being mobbed by crowds
— Food: You can get all the local food and more all at a reasonable price. Durian dessert/​mochi!
— Entertainment: Free Movies, Butterfly Gardens, Wifi Stations, Charging Stations, Free tour of the City if you have a long layover!
— Comfortable Seating Option: A Snooze Lounge!!! and all these sofas?
People are really friendly here. Even the immigration officers asked me if I want some of her candies?!
I looking forward to coming back again soon!

Changri Airport is one of my favorite airports! It’s very modern, clean, and spacious.
There is a mall inside the terminal. Like everything in Singapore, it’s ultra efficient!
From arriving at the terminal to checking in with the airlines, the experience was more like a luxury resort. A+
Remember to get your tax reimbursement for your purchases made in Singapore!

Für mich ist das Terminal 3 am Changi Airport das definitiv weltbeste Flughafen-​Terminal. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Das WiFi ist kostenlos und unkompliziert, es gibt so gut wie alles zu kaufen — sogar einen Apple Store mit sehr kompetitiven Preisen. Und mein Favorit: Ein echtes Hard Rock Café! Hier einen Burger zwischen zwei Anschlussflügen zu essen ist echt der Hammer. Danach vielleicht eine Massage, oder ein Rundgang in einem der vielen tropischen Gärten? Hier gibt es wirklich alles, was das Herz begehrt. Freundlichkeit inklusive.
