The price of baggage wrapping at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) depends on the size of the luggage. One of the baggage wrapping service providers at the airport called "Changi Recommends" at the time of our visit were charging the following fees for baggage wrapping:
Standard luggage - 15 SGD per piece

While the price of standard luggage wrapping at this place is competitive, for wrapping of larger luggage you can find better offers at Singapore Changi Airport.
