If you are in the transit area, you can also enjoy a leisurely walk through the Link Bridge, which offers stunning views of the Jewel Changi and its iconic Rain Vortex. For landside travelers, the Skytrain is the most efficient choice, though public shuttle buses are also available at the basement bays.
