QF37 to QF1 transfer in SIN

[FlyingCasually]

Hi All,

Currently booked MEL-SIN-LHR on QF35-QF1 for next month. Looking to potentially change that to QF37-QF1 to cut the layover time down significantly to 1hr 20m (that and the recent on-time performance of QF1 - I don't want a 5 hour layover to turn into 10!).

Having not been through SIN before, I am correct in assuming that the gates would be close enough together such that the actual transfer would be like 20 mins max?

TIA

20-25 mins walk would probably be worst case scenario from end of one pier to the end of the other. Could be and often is much closer than that.

QF37’s main reason for existing is to transfer passengers to QF1 ( and KLM to Amsterdam on QF codeshare), so wouldn’t be worried.

I've been on QF1 before from SYD-LHR when on one occasion QF37 was delayed by 4 hours leaving Melbourne due to a maintenance issue. They delayed the onward leg of QF1 until QF37 arrived so the transit passengers could make it, so I wouldn't be concerned with that transit time.
