India, Oct. 9 -- A tourist couple chose to spend the night at Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport rather than shell out "astronomical" prices for a night in the hotel room, sparking a heated debate in the process about travel etiquette and social norms. In a TikTok video shared October 5, the couple explained that the cost of hotel accommodation in Singapore had skyrocketed due to the Formula One (F1) Weekend.

The video was posted by a woman who goes by @sheridan.tate8 on TikTok. She said in the video that she and her partner had just gotten off the ferry from Bintan Islands and would try to sleep at the airport instead of booking a hotel room for the night.

"We did not want to pay $400 just to rest our heads," the couple said.
