1982 Singapore Changi International Airport Departure Hall Terminal 1 Postcard
Description (Front)
Colour postcard showing the Departure Hall of Changi International Airport, Singapore, captured from ground level inside the terminal. The scene features a wide open concourse with a high, dark grid-pattern ceiling fitted with evenly spaced recessed lighting, creating a strong sense of scale and modern architectural design. Passengers are visible throughout the hall, many with luggage trolleys, queuing at airline check-in counters with distinctive orange and red colour panels typical of late 1970s to 1980s airport interiors. A large overhead flight information display board is visible in the background, listing departures and destinations, reinforcing the aviation theme. Interior landscaping elements, including large potted plants, soften the otherwise modernist concrete and steel structure. The overall atmosphere reflects Singapore’s emergence as a major international aviation hub following the opening of Changi Airport in 1981.

Note: Coins & Banknotes Grading
- Please closely inspect the photos to understand the condition of the coins or banknotes before proceeding with your purchase, as grading can be subjective and varies from person to person.
- Please do not place too much hope on grading companies to grade the notes accurately, as they can be notoriously inconsistent.
- Different graders have different opinions, eye factors, and knowledge that influence the final grading.
- Even grading companies do not guarantee that you will get the outcome of your desired grading.
- If you have any questions or require additional information, I am more than happy to assist. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Shipping Information
- Complimentary Combined Shipping: We offer free combined shipping for all banknotes. To take advantage of this offer, please add the items to your cart together and only proceed to checkout once you are ready to pay. eBay will consolidate the shipping at the checkout page. Please do not pay for items individually, as the shipping costs will not be combined that way.
- Customs Fees: Buyers are responsible for any applicable customs fees.
- International Shipping: Shipping duration can vary, typically ranging from 14 to 60 business days for standard delivery. Please be aware that these shipping times are estimates and depend on the operational efficiencies of the shipping companies, which we cannot control.
- Postage Costs: Please note that international shipping via Australia Post is not cheap. We strive to keep the shipping costs as low as possible, sometimes even absorbing a portion of the costs. However, eBay charges fees on both the value of items sold and the shipping costs quoted. Additionally, eBay mandates the use of end-to-end tracking for safety and reliability.
- Untracked Shipping Requests: If a buyer insists on requesting an untracked, cheaper shipping option, we reserve the right to grant or refuse the request due to eBay’s strict shipping policies. If untracked shipping is granted, please be aware that we have no way of tracking the mail, and the buyer is strictly responsible for any losses in transit.
- Tracking and Logistics: Please check Australia Post for tracking status. Since we do not own Australia Post, we have absolutely no control over their handling times and methods. Australia is a huge continent, and logistics are challenging, coupled with one of the highest minimum wages in the world, making costs and operations tough. Please check with your postal service or local post offices if any unattended mail notes are left, as we absolutely can’t control that remotely.
VAT and GST
- We are not in control of charging any VAT or GST, as these are automatically applied by eBay.
Customer Conduct
- Please be respectful when communicating with us. We do not tolerate abusive behaviour from buyers.
- If you do not agree with the postage cost, eBay’s strict shipping policies, or any other terms, please refrain from making a purchase.
