Many of you will have fond memories of the McDonald's outlet at Changi Airport's Terminal 2.
The place is a common breakfast and supper spot for travellers and locals alike, even doubling up as a comfortable study spot for "Eastie" students.

But fans of McDonalds' in Changi Airport will have to bid farewell soon as the beloved outlet appears to be closing for good.
Closing on Jan. 31, 2020 at midnight
A notice was put up at the outlet last December to inform its patrons that it will be closing at the end of this month after 16 years of service, according to a Redditor.
The notice thanked patrons for "all the memories".
It also stated that people looking for fast food could still visit the two other 24-hour McDonald's outlets at Terminal 3 and Terminal 4.

Changi Airport has also dedicated a Facebook post on Jan. 28 to remember the outlet at T2 which has been a "warm and hospitable space" and "second home to many".
The closure of the McDonald's outlet is due to the upcoming renovation of T2, it added.
It was announced in July earlier this year that the terminal would be receiving a new facelift, which includes expansions to the departure hall outfitting it with more check-in counters, automated check-in kiosks and bag-drop machines, reported The Straits Times.
The renovations were reported to have begun in the last quarter of 2019.
Other than the McDonald's outlet, the analogue boards at T2 will also give way to new electronic information boards once the renovations are completed.
Fond memories
Many netizens mourned the closure of the McDonald's outlet, with several chiming in and contributing their own fond memories of the place.
Some mentioned how studying there was "part of [their] childhood", while others commented on how it was the dining option of choice before flights.
Another user highlighted the unexpected closure of the outlet, comparing it to King Albert Park's, yet another McDonald's outlet treasured by students as a popular study and supper spot.
And even more reminisced in the comment section of Changi Airport's post:
Sad to see you go, Macs.
