It's the festive season and many Singaporeans will take the opportunity to travel overseas.

We know that Changi airport is rated as one of the best airports in the world. But what truly makes Changi airport stand out is these commonly overheard lines from fellow S'porean travellers.

Here are 8 typical one-liners we bet you've heard before when you depart from or arrive at Changi airport:

1. Are you buying alcohol? Can lend me your passport?

Here’s what the person asking looks like on the outside:

On the inside:

You simply just can’t reject the asker. Bailey’s way cheap. Hoegaarden’s way cheap. Everything’s just cheaper than anywhere else outside the airport. And the person has too many friends and family members to buy a bottle each for.

Just hand over your passport and nobody gets hurt.

2. The plane’s landing not bad ah.

3. Omg must throw my water away at the security check point. Help me finish the water leh.

Please do so. Unless you want the next question to be “want follow me to the toilet”?

4. Got free wifi here?

And if there isn’t – “Can lend me your hotspot? I want to check oneeeee thing only”.

Yes, you have wifi!!!

5. They confiscated my nail clipper and scissors.

And they made me take off my belt, and remove my shoes.

6. Did you manage to sleep on the plane?

7. Why is your luggage so small! I think mine’s more than 20kg.

8. Alamak. Cannot find my luggage on the belt.

Remember also to bring a luggage that’s easily identifiable on the luggage carousel.

Or you will end up like this.
