I have also enjoyed flying or having transits in Changi Airport with their wide range of activities and shopping. However, I recently got a chance to fly out of the Changi Budget Terminal in Singapore when I flew Tiger Airways to Singapore and came away again rather impressed with the facilities they had. Read on for my review of the Changi Budget Terminal and differences between Changi Budget Terminal and our KL Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) airports.

Changi Budget Terminal Is Connected To Changi via A Free Shuttle

It is incredibly easy to get to the Changi Budget Terminal. Simply hop on a MRT from town to Changi Airport and catch the free shuttle bus that runs every 10 minutes between the Changi Main Terminal and the Budget Terminal. In KL, KLIA and LCCT are also connected through a shuttle service but passengers are required to pay a fee of RM1.50 per person to use that service. The LCCT is also located an hour away from the city and is connected by buses, trains or taxis.

Changi Budget Terminal Has Free Internet!

I love the free internet services provided in all Changi Terminals and was pleased to discover that the Budget Terminal has free internet too! The free internet terminals are arranged in the centre of the airport where most of the food outlets and waiting chairs are. Its a great way to stay connected and to pass your waiting time especially since the shopping outlets there aren’t as fun as the Changi Main Terminals. Unfortunately for travellers in KLIA or LCCT, free internet is only a dream although privileged passengers may access it in the premium lounges.

Changi Budget Terminal Has Affordable Snacks And Drinks

Most airport cafes tend to be overpriced and expensive so I was really pleased to see a 7-11 in the Changi Budget Terminal where I was able to pick up a drink for a lot less compared to the cafes. It was a small outlet but had quite a wide variety of snacks, magazines and drinks to keep the average traveller happy and fed for a lot less. However, hungry travellers may opt to eat in the many cafe outlets offering Western and Asian food around the centre area.

Overall, I had quite a pleasant experience in the Changi Budget Terminal. The free internet was a definite bonus and I was very appreciative of the 7-11 store! If our LCCT could have a similar free internet service, I’m sure passengers will be very pleased!
