Had a massive chunk of refunded KF come through last year due to our MEL-SIN-(FRA)-JFK in R trip with LAX-SIN-MEL return in J being cancelled.
Just booked MEL-SIN-BLR and BLR-SIN-MEL on J Savers for April/May next year - very excited and can't wait. Only issue is the 16hr layover in SIN on the way back, but hopefully SIN will have relaxed the restrictions on roaming around the place in 6 months time... we'll wait and see.
First flight since March 2020 (Domestic and International). So pumped. Gotta love SQ for making J Savers available still - they very well could have closed it off. More and more reasons for staying loyal to SQ.
If restrictions are relaxed then you can go on a free half day tour (runs for each morning & afternoon) without having to go through customs & immigration. You visit 5 to 6 different sites and get let out to look/explore briefly (20-25 minutes) or so at each one. A very good way to get some idea of whether you want to have a longer stopover in Singapore in the future.
Just be prepared for a humidity hit with a possible change of clothes in your carry-ons!
Tried this out when doing a F return - chose longest possible stopover between same day flights to max out 'The Private Room' for breakfast, lunch & dinner experience. Went out on the morning tour after breakfast & returned for a slightly late lunch. Not something I'd recommend doing a second time - TPR was nice but did not need the trifecta.
However there is also a 'hidden food market' at the airport that you can get to (IIRC) without clearing customs - put off visting that to another visit. Local workers, air crew & those in the know use it but open to anyone. Massive range of food & not-airport prices.
We just can’t get tired of Changi Airport. Whether we are traveling or not, this place always gives us a refreshing atmosphere to chill out.

Looks like there are similar markets in both T2 & T3.
