It's always a good thing to arrive early for your flight at Singapore's Changi Airport. With many things to do and sights to explore, you can definitely make the most of your waiting time here. If you have free time in your hands, how about turning it into a quick food trip? You'll be surprised to know that Changi Airport has a variety of halal food offerings, ranging from local dishes to Western, Japanese and Korean food! Before you're off to find the best halal food at Changi Airport, here are some fun facts that you'll find interesting about it!
Changi Airport
Situated in the far east of Singapore, Changi Airport boasts an outstanding accolade of being Skytrax's world’s best aviation hub for eight years in a row (as of 2020), and yet again in 2023! Besides having 4 main terminals (soon to be 5), the airport has Jewel Changi Airport, the latest glass dome-shaped mall that houses the world’s tallest indoor waterfall amongst a beautiful garden landscape - and lots of halal food too!
Changi Airport is easily accessible as it houses its own MRT station underground. The Changi Airport MRT Station is the last station along the East-West Line. With the addition of a hotel, swimming pools and shower facilities (for passengers transiting in Changi Airport), it comes to no surprise why Changi Airport has been on the lips of many travellers. With amazing accessibility and world-class facilities, our writer even shared why they think Changi Airport truly is the best airport in the world! On top of that, there are loads of halal-certified food options, most of which are opened 24/7. If you're hungry, get your tummies ready as we present the ultimate halal food guide to Singapore’s Changi Airport!
