Changi Lounge Review – Jewel Changi Airport (Arrivals Lounge Experience)

 Introduction: A Unique Lounge Experience at Changi

Looking for a premium lounge experience at Singapore Changi Airport – even after you land? The Changi Lounge at Jewel is a rare arrivals lounge that offers exactly that. In this review, I’ll share my firsthand experience accessing this lounge after arriving from Pune to Singapore, using my American Express Platinum Charge Card’s Priority Pass – no physical card required.

Where is Changi Lounge Located?

The Changi Lounge is located in Jewel Changi Airport, on Level 1 (Landside), right opposite the Early Check-In counters near Lift Lobby E. Since it’s before security, it’s perfect for arriving passengers, or even those transiting with a long layover.

> Pro Tip: If you’re heading for a connecting flight, remember to allow enough time for security and immigration after your lounge visit.

Who Can Access Changi Lounge?

This lounge is open to:

Priority Pass members

Pay-per-use guests

I accessed it for free using my Amex Platinum Priority Pass, which is a digital card (a feature unique to Amex India). Most Indian banks issue only physical cards – but Changi Lounge accepts digital Priority Pass access too, making it super convenient.

Ideal for early arrivals or those waiting to check into a hotel.

Pros:
