Can we all take a second to discuss this awesome boarding gate slide at Jewel Changi Airport!
Singapore (06 December 2020) – Not only does the Jewel Changi Airport have an epic waterfall, but it also has an inventive boarding gate slide that lets passengers travel in style to their flights… cause who likes walking to a plane anyway?
Jewel Changi Airport is a nature-themed entertainment and retail complex on the inside of Changi Airport, Singapore, linked to three of its passenger terminals. Its centrepiece is the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, which is surrounded by a terraced forest setting. Jewel includes gardens, attractions, a hotel, about 300 retail and dining outlets, and convenient early baggage check-in aviation facilities. It covers a total gross floor area of 135,700 m2, spanning 10 storeys – five above-ground and five basement levels.[6] Its attractions include the Shiseido Forest Valley, an indoor garden spanning five storeys, and the Canopy Park at the topmost level, featuring gardens and leisure facilities.
Jewel receives about 300,000 visitations a day. In October 2019, six months after its soft opening, it had welcomed 50 million visitors, exceeding its initial target for the whole year.
