Fully agree with ISTFlyer! My walk from the very far end of D pier to the Havaist bus outside the terminal took 25 minutes - including passport control. Admittedly, I was lucky that I was the only one using the fast track lane at immigration, I knew my way and I am also a fast walker... but it is doable!
