Staying at Crowne Plaza at the airport was really great! It’s easy to spend time in the city and worthwhile even for a 24 hour layover. The airport is of course fabulous and probably enough for entertainment for under 6 hours layovers

Although the flight is listed as 17 1/2 hours, actual flight time was only 16 1/2. Bring a sleep mask to ensure you rest during your flight - it helps reduce so e of the flight time and helps you arrive more refreshed.

The Singapore Changi airport if huge. After getting of the aircraft, the walk to immigration control was long. Once you get to the control area, the process was quick and easy.
