From now till 1 May 2023, Rilakkuma and friends are making their presence felt at Terminal 3 in more ways than one.
Step into T3’s Departure Hall and you’ll find Rilakkuma and pals at a bustling carnival full of pastel hues and whimsical rides. Get your head in the clouds on the Samba Balloon ride or the Ferris Wheel near Central Immigration, then hop over to Check-in Row 11 for a spin in the Swing Chair and Tea Cup rides. The first 3,000 carnival-goers will receive a free Rilakkuma souvenir card exclusively designed for Changi, which doubles as a nifty bookmark.
To enjoy the rides, carnival credits can be purchased at the ticketing booths at a rate of S$1 per credit, with a minimum first purchase of S$25 or via the iChangi app at up to 15% off.
Alternatively, simply spend S$80 in a single receipt (S$100 at the supermarket) at the public areas of Terminals 1 to 4 and redeem five free carnival credits. These same credits can also be used for the T3 Underground Carnival (and vice versa) and are stackable with its existing promotions as well.
Don’t forget to check out the retail outpost located near the link bridge to Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel) which will open on 10 March 2023. Purchase Rilakkuma merchandise, including plushies, tote bags, back-to-school stationery and more!
