How to get to Changi by transit late at night and where to eat and recharge phone?
For one of my upcoming trips to Singapore, I don't think I'm going to book a hotel due to a very early morning departure. Sadly, MRT doesn't go to Changi late at night. Are there any other transit options now? If so, how?
Since I won't have a boarding pass, I know I can't enter airside. What's there to do at Changi now in the early hours of the day? Where to eat? Anything to do at the Jewel at that time? Where in Changi can I recharge my phone? I don't have a UK-style power adapter so I'll need either USB-A/C or one of those universal power outlets.
TIA!

I used Gojek (rideshare app) last month to get to Changi for my early morning departure. Unfortunately there happened to be a surge at the time, but standard prices are very reasonable. It might just take a while to find a driver depending on where you are and what time it is. I ended up at T1 and there were a few cafés that were open. There are also several USB charging stations by the gates that to my recollection should not require you to go through any sort of security.

The only other place that seems to be open late is: https://www.jewelchangiairport.com/en/dine/CBTL.html.

Oh, in that case I recall my friend mentioning that Jewel should have a few restaurants open late, but I must admit I did not have the energy to seek them out. If I did, I probably would've gone for some late-night hotpot: https://www.jewelchangiairport.com/e...n-the-pot.html. Even looking that up just now gave me some cravings

It’s 22:16 in Singapore at the moment. I'm on my way to get some late night Hokkien mee before heading to Changi. Given the lack of responses, I'm assuming I’ll have to take a taxi/Grab to Changi after midnight. It is what it is!

I probably won't make it in time. I'm en route to Chomp Chomp. I'll probably finishing eating a bit after midnight. Then the problem will start.
