I booked a lot of different flights for this upcoming holiday 29/5 till13/6/2018 Perth to Vietnam via Singapore. Not on same PRN.

Just starting to worry about the connecting times at Changi Airport for our return to Australia.

Wednesday 1/6/18 - Fly HAN - SIN on Vietnam Airlines VN661 arriving at 2.50pm Terminal 4 Changi.

I am expecting to collect our checked bags, ? Customs etc then catch airport shuttle bus over to Terminal 3 and go through the check in process again, with plenty of time to be on our last flight for the trip :

SQ215 departing TERMINAL 3 at 18.45pm Economy - SIN to PER. Just under 4 hours from deplaning to boarding final flight.

I am planning on checking in online in Hanoi for both flights and printing off boarding passes . Just reading website on Changi Airport boarding and transit tips - and wondering if there is anything I can do to expedite the process so we are at the SQ boarding gates in plenty of time.
 
Hi Antoallison

Just wondering if you could advise if your transit was successful as I have a similar situation coming up this July.
I arrive into Changi Airport Sun 14 July at 3pm from Dubai on Emirates, Terminal 3 and need to collect bags, go through immigration etc before checking in and re-dropping bags for the 6:40pm flight to Perth on Qantas.

I don't think I will be able to check in online for the SIN-PER flight as I will be in Dubai and unable to open my Qantas online FF without my mobile phone which I wont have roaming on.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Yes happy to say that at wonderful Changi airport everything went very smoothly. There was plenty of time, immigration is super efficient there and we no problem with the very short bus trip from one terminal to the next.
I must add that unfortunately on this return journey my husband was by now using special assistance at the airport due to just having been released from a stay at Da Nang hospital.
However I still think that without the wheelchair escort through the terminal we would have had plenty of time.

Maybe you could find a computer terminal at your hotel in Dubai or in a mall, to check in online before you fly out - just eases the anxiety a bit.

Happy travels.

Thanks for that information, it does relieve the anxiety a bit. I was considering changing to the later flight home, but will hope for no delays and make through in time. Thanks again
