I want to leave that afternoon for Phuket, the girlfriend wants to stay an extra night in Singapore. I'm sure we'll end up staying an extra night.
We're going in December, so I have plenty of time to plan. What should I exoect at the Singapore airport, regarding customs, lines, etc.?
Having done a week long trip back in November -- I have a suggestion for you.
We opted to spend our non-HKT in SIN up front. Had a great time there, then also in HKT. The problem was on return to SIN for our flight out... it was a pretty tough day of travel from HKT, then waiting around the airport (arrived from HKT around 1am) to be able to check in at 5am (for a united flight). In our case, we had to stay land side with much less in the way of facilities.
When we do this again... we'll go straight to the relaxation portion of the trip (HKT or other), then spend any extra time in SIN... a casual day or 2 around the city, and heading to the airport without already having some travel burnout.
