‘Camping out at the airport’ goes glam

Many seasoned travelers have ‘camped out at the airport’ waiting for an early-morning flight or a late-night connection, but Singapore’s Changi Airport has taken it to a new level, with a glamping site on the very top floor of the airport’s Jewel shopping complex.

Or, if heights are not to your taste, you can pitch your tent at a lower altitude, in the shopping center’s Shiseido Forest Valley that includes the ‘Rain Vortex,’ the largesst indoor waterfall in the world.

With the city-state’s campsites closed due to the pandemic, the airport is offering its alternative, using luxury yurts that can be rented for a night—or part of a day—by up to five people. The airport says it offering is “even better because you don’t have to fret about the humidity, wet weather plans or those awful mosquitoes.”
