I really only booked JetStar because they are the first flight. Cost was about $115 with the extras. I've flown them in Australia and didn't have any issues. The more expensive is Tiger Air leaving at 7am which I've never flown. They are a little more expensive. SilkAir is the other option over $400. Booking with UA, I think Cathy Pacific is an option and I could do one PNR, but that's something like $1000 more plus I don't even think they will interline.


With a 12:20am arrival, I figure the connection should not be a big issue even going land side. Even if I don't check my bag and fly Tigerair (in the same terminal) I still need to exit to checkin I believe because my bag will be too large for the LCC standard to carry on



Another related question, I'll be returning home on UA's 6am flight from SIN. It seems like a waste to have a hotel booked for that night. I haven't decided where my hotel will be, maybe the airport Crowne Plaza so I can leave my bags there. I'm not sure when checkin opens up (around 3am), I can just goto the lounge and hang out there. I think the MRT shuts down at night so I'd have to kill about 3hrs landside at SIN or find something to do outside and take a taxi. Any ideas on what I can do?
