This is a common sight in many overseas airport.

They occupied a large space on the floor or seats and looking very self-entitled. These poor tourists lying on the floor n benches at the airport to save hotel charges are definitely very unsightly 🥹

Unfortunately, this is largely an AMDK thing, so unlikely action will be taken against them.

n

not exaggerated, it happens every day (ok more at night).

in fact this pic is just the tip of the iceberg.. walking in the terminal u will see lots of such.
happening for long time already. Near the escalator leading to the MRT, even got people lying down sleeping.

Our average room rate here cost $270/- per night.... Unless these people following tour group.... For those individual tourist, it might be quite tight...

Example if covert $270 into RMB$1,500/-, staying a night in airport will saves.... quite a lotsa monies...

Why so xia suay, own house issue not reported in EDMW or Reddit first but SCMP got the first scoop.
https://www.scmp.com/news/people-cu...port-sleeper-village-slammed-tarnishing-image


Got report in EDMW lah:
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...uple-sleeping-free-at-changi-airport.7162228/

The article referenced then was from The New Paper.



Most folks do not find issues with this. Esp those who had to wait for their flights or had flights delayed before.



I find the more sia xuay ones are those who are making a mountain out of a molehill of something that is common in airports globally, and tries to spin (or are being manipulated) the narrative by using only the few negative comments.

There r free Snooze Lounges located in all four terminals so it is either these passengers uninformed or juz want the convenience to b near the waiting berth

you translate to RMB for what lol...

let me tell you, those AT who come SG more than willing and able to come up with your S$270 per night.. even bangala or indian will go out to find cheap hostel those 50 dollar kind.

only amdk will sleep in the airport like this... they don't know how to save, and they dont have much to spend.
