After a few seconds I found a staff member, seated, almost completely blocked by the machine. That was at the next desk over, and he was on the phone assisting another pax. He was the only staff member that I could see behind a desk.

T4 problems:
- what bright bulb at Changi Airport Group thought "hey, this is the terminal for O&D passengers, let's make sure it's the ONLY one that isn't connected to transport in any reasonable way"?? Is this some secret attempt to improve the finances of Singapore's taxi and ride-sharing services? Idiotic.
- the nude-o-scope scanning machines are annoying. Enough said.
- the CT machines are nice in that you don't have to take your bags out, but approximately 5x slower than the previous setup.
- long walks, no travelators. Already mentioned.

In sum, can't think of a single IMPROVEMENT in T4 (other than perhaps the lounge, but Dnata did the trick for a quick sit and check of email anwyay). If I fly CX on my segments HKG-SIN, this will be despite the new arrangements, not because of them.
