Now that Singaporeans cannot fly anywhere else, Changi Airport has become a destination rather than a means to get to a destination.

In particular, Jewel Changi Airport is letting visitors stay overnight with its glamping programmes that cost about the same as an air ticket to Hong Kong in better times.

Here are the three programmes.

1. Glamping at Cloud9 Piazza (overnight)

• Booking period: Nov. 20, 2020 - Jan. 3, 2021​
• Venue: Jewel Changi Airport, Cloud9 Piazza, Level 5
• From S$320/night on weekdays and S$360/night for Fridays to Sundays, Public Holidays and Eves.
• Check-in after 7pm and check-out before 10am the following day
• Each tent accommodates up to four guests.
• Shower facilities are available at the Changi Lounge. Guests can reserve their time slots upon check in
• Free Wi-Fi available throughout Cloud9 Piazza.
• Includes Changi festive plush toy and privileges to Canopy Park and T4 activities.

If you're feeling extravagant, top up S$155 for a private movie screening in the tent or S$69 for a picnic setup.

The area itself is also decked out in Christmas lights to complete the look.
