An early Oktoberfest at Changi Airport

Changi Airport has kick-started the renowned Oktoberfest celebrations with Munich @ Changi at Terminal 2's Departure Transit Mall. This mini version of the much celebrated Bavarian tradition in Munich is jointly organised by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Lufthansa German Airlines, to celebrate the airline's direct flights linking Singapore to Munich, the capital city of Bavaria in Germany. Daily celebrations start from 5.00pm to 9.00pm, till 15 July 2008. 

A Bavarian themed blue and white tent housed the festivities. Passengers can dress up in a Bavarian costume and take part in the Merriest Passenger Photo Contest for a chance to win an economy class ticket to Munich, the home of Oktoberfest, on Lufthansa German Airlines. The merriest-looking and most fun-loving passenger will be selected as the winner on 31 July. The winner will be notified by post. 

Passengers can also look forward to savouring one complimentary cup of beer and pretzel while trying their hands at Oktoberfest themed games like Slide-A-Beer Mug and Toss-A-Pretzel games. In the Toss-A-Pretzel game, the player needs only toss and hang three pretzels in five seconds to win a prize. Traditional German music and dance performances will also be showcased at the event.
