#StarWarsatChangi - Something for Everyone at The Force Awakens at Singapore Changi Airport

{Media Invite}

May The Force Be With You.

This sentence, many of us know, don't we?  With the new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiering on 17 December 2015, Star Wars is set to take the world by storm once more.

And can you imagine our excitement when we got to know that Singapore Changi Airport is bringing a part of the galaxy far, far away to fans, travellers and visitors alike, with two of the film series' iconic star fighters.

The life-sized X-wing fighter

On 12 November 2015, at the unveiling of the starfighters, we watched the meeting of the Imperial Stormtroopers and the X-wing pilots as well as a one-time only launch parade where they walk from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 where the other starfighter, the TIE fighter stands.

At Terminal 2's (T2) Departure Hall, the signature starfighter of the First Order is just magnificent.  Despite the crowd, look at how the life-sized TIE fighter stands tall.

Passengers travelling though T2 can also expect to catch a glimpse of a Star Wars-themed gate holdroom and aerobridge at gate E26, where more life-sized figurines of the First Order Stormtroopers and the astromech droid R2-D2 are stationed to welcome passengers.

Back to T3.

From 13 November 2015 to 5 January 2016, airport visitors get a chance to don Star Wars costumes and take the seat behind the controls in the cockpit of the X-wing fighter.  You will get to bring home a photo memorabilia for free too!

Weekdays / Weekends : 
10:00 - 12:00
13:00 - 15:00
16:00 - 18:00 (only weekdays)
19:00 - 21:00

Tickets to board the X-wing fighter will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis.  There are 80 tickets given out for each time slot.

Chewbacca, Jedi, X-wing fighter pilot?

He just wanna be himself.  :)

Also at T3 Departure Hall - Immigration, there will be 7 appearances by the Stormtroopers and X-wing pilots over the next few Saturdays (14 Nov, 21 Nov, 28 Nov, 5 Dec, 12 Dec, 26 Dec & 2 Jan 16) at 4pm.  Definitely a photo opportunity not to be missed!

The year-end celebrations will also include other fun-filled activities and one of them, a bouncy playground at T3's Departure Hall (opposite Check-in Row 11).  The Norway-themed playground features a 4-metre high slide, an illuminating ball pit and a rock climbing lighthouse station.  All for the little children.

And for the older children or even adults, there is the obstacle course.  But it is to be navigated by the BB-8 App-Enabled Droid.  It might look difficult, but it gets easier once you get the hang of it.

If you are travelling this festive season, you will be happy to know that photo opportunities are aplenty at the airport's departure transit halls.  From London Bus to the Plaza De España of Spain, check-in early and be captivated by the displays.
