BA15

Just needed a quick bit of advice, flying LHR-SYD in J, leaving at 2145 and arriving into SYD at 0650. Will I be able to use the lounge at SIN or will it be a quick refuelling stop? Thanks

Yes, you can use lounge - they kick you off plane for a bit

I suggest you get to the lounge asap as there's not huge amounts of time but I'd definitely try to grab a shower as it will make you feel much better!

I'd recommend going to the Qantas lounge which is next to the BA one. It's much larger and there probably won't be a shower queue.

Note that you will need to reclear security in SIN, as it's at the gate before you re-board.

Does anyone have any tips/advice for the best thing/most refreshing to do during the stopover for those travelling in Economy?

Perhaps have a shower at the Plaza Premium Lounge or the Wellness Oasis . The former will likely be closest to the BA gate

Costs USD12 and can be booked in advance at www.plaza-network.com

Yes, you tend to have about an hour off the plane. The ba lounge can be a very long walk which eats up a significant portion of that time and the lounge can be very busy. The showers are good, but you might be waiting a while and run out of time (in 6 attempts, my wife and I have had 3 showers). If you just want a shower (a good idea) and you have access to a different lounge, I'd go for that other lounge.

I was told you can pay for a shower in Changi, although I don't know where. But something as simple as having clean socks and underwear with you can make you feel much better. You only have just over an hour in Changi. You may not have much time to go to a paid lounge, but the toilets shouldn't be too far away if you decide you want to quickly change.

Well it does arrive two days later at 0650, although I wish I could get a supersonic flight on that route. It'd be so much less painful if it can be a direct flight AND supersonic. Wishful thinking, of course.
