    AKL-CBR J booking - domestic connection offered only in Y?

    Thanks. For simple itineraries I prefer to use airline as easier in the event schedules change (which is quite common these days). Good to know its mainly qf website creating restrictions, so can weigh up options. Of course it would be better if qf didn't create these obstacles.

    Overnight at Singapore airport

    Crowne Plaza is landside (but connected to terminals) so need to enter Singapore. Next day check in 90 mins prior to departure. If already checked in then go to immigration about 1 hour before departure if you don't want to spend time in lounge or shopping. Immigration is always quick at SIN...

    Changi SIN rating Best Airport is Poppycock

    I like SIN security being at the gate. The trick is to arrive at the gate approx 20 mins prior to departure (allowing for delays if on QF!). Queue is then short and straight through to board. I've connected in SIN hundreds of times.

    Return flight without leaving the airport

    I disagree. While some places can ve problematic (eg needing visa even for turn-around), most are fine in my experience. Over the years I've done international turn-arounds hundreds of times in dozens of countries, with limited issues.
