SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[MEL_Traveller]

Who books so that transit time in SQ is longer just so they get better use of J lounge. Optimum time?

I book transit time just for the duty free, not the lounge! So I book 3 hours rather than 1.

The lounge is neither here nor there. I don’t think the lounge is worth going out of your way for… but a nice to have if your layover is on the longer side.

I try to book overnight transit in Singapore so I can go to Zam Zam.

I've spent alot of time in SIN and surprised I had not heard of this restaurant. What's your go-to dish? Where do you camp?

Basically they sell murtabak and biriyani - both excellent. Last week I had sardine murtabak and tarik tea. I stay anywhere cheap in the area - last week it was Hotel 81 Heritage.

I prefer 2-3 hrs to allow time for relaxed pace shower in lounge and stretch legs etc. Particularly for Europe trips.

Anything less than 90 mins and while fine can feel rushed depending on which terminal you're arrivin/departing, how well you know changi, and how busy lounge is.

Agree, it’s the opportunity for a shower I really value, the lounge itself seems a bit blah these days, so 3 hours seems about right.

Though a recent flight reshuffle to Nepal (just after the riots) necessitated an overnight and then morning free in Singapore which I really enjoyed too.

I do enjoy the opportunity to shower refresh.
