Hello folks, thanks to the companion voucher and a lot of great info on HFP I’ve secured my first ever business class flight next January to Singapore and then on to Perth on my own steam. I’m hoping to use the knowledge that people here have gathered to get the maximum enjoyment out of this trip and over the next few weeks I’ll be posting questions as they come to me. Here goes. . .Our flight gets into Singapore at 9.10pm and I’m considering booking an onward flight with SIA at 12.05am. Is this overly optimistic? I’ve never flown long haul with BA before but I’ve flown to Perth maybe 10 times through Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, all with around 2hrs30 mins stop over with no hiccups at all.
Also, does anyone know which Singapore terminal BA flys into and which terminal SIA flies out of?
At the risk of being different, I really would spend a night in Singapore… At least 1. Easy Metro into town and my go to place is the HIX on Orchard on points.
This allows for any misconnects as well. With my walking shoes on and a good pace, I’ve walked the good bits of SIN in 2-3 days…
Don’t forget to check out Scoot flights out of Singapore.
A stopover is a definite option as I’m retiring at Christmas and I’m not hurrying back.
I just hoped that perhaps someone here might have had experience good or bad of my situation.
