Duty Free Shopping at Changi Airport


Singapore’s Changi Airport is one of the main transfer hubs for people travelling to and from Australia, New Zealand and other parts of Asia. If you find yourself in a long stop-over you’ll discover that Changi is one of the best airports to spend time waiting for your flight. Coming second in 2012’s World Airport Awards, Changi provides a level of comfort not seen in many airports around the world and its sheer size can provide hours of duty free shopping pleasure.
  
If you’re in the market for luxury goods but don’t want to pay full price then this is a perfect opportunity to stock up. Boutiques at Changi include: Alfred Dunhill, Bally, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Bvlgari, Cartier, Coach, Emporio Armani, Fashion Avenue, Gucci, Hermes, Hugo Boss, La Perla, Longchamp, MCM, Miu Miu, Montblanc, Paul & Shark, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, Shanghai Tang, The Fashion Gallery, Tod's and Tommy Hilfiger. If you want some fine jewellery to go with your new outfit you can check out Aspial, Goldheart, Lee Hwa Diamond Boutique, Luvenus, Pandora, SK Jewellery and Tiffany & Co. After that, don’t forget to buy a new watch from either DFS Watches, Gassan Watches, Ice-Watch, o.d.m, Omega Boutique, Rolex or Swatch. Finally for your fragrance and make-up needs you can go to Kiehl's, M.A.C. or Nuance Watson.

Of course the place to go for the biggest range of perfumes and aftershaves is DFS as they carry every brand you can think of. DFS is also the place for duty free liquor and cigarettes. The tax on alcohol in Singapore is quite high so the duty free liquor available at Changi Airport is a great deal for anyone on their way in to the country. However be aware that cigarettes are not able to be brought in duty free. You can buy them but if you bring them in to Singapore you have to declare them and pay the tax on the spot. Failure to declare them and pay the tax will result in a large fine.
       
Electronics are also readily available at duty free prices at Changi with an emphasis on cameras and music players. Just look for the big sign saying Cameras Electronics. Other stores include FOTOPRO and i-sound.   
Sometimes the best way to get through a plane trip is by stocking up on snacks and candy. Luckily Changi Airport has got you covered.  Head over to the following stores Bee Cheng Hiang,           Bengawan Solo, Candy Empire, Chocolates.Candy.Delicatessen, Cocoa & Co, Durian Mpire, Godiva, Kedai Kue Kue, Kim Joo Guan, M&M's World, So Chocolate, The Cocoa Trees and Umeya.

Of course now you might need some new luggage to carry all your purchases. Luckily the following stores can help: Delsey, Flight 001, Samsonite, TUMI and The Planet Traveller.

No matter if you’re coming in or leaving Singapore, or if you have a stop-over, you’ll find plenty to do and buy at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
