Checked the on time performance for the last three months, latest arrival time was 07:30 am Singapore time. Impressive performance overall, you should be safe. Without any guarantee of course ;-)

Finally booked my AMD-EWR-AMD flights using cleartrip.com. With discount, net price was 158,059 IDR = US$2160.
FYI, ITA was not showing any availability for the dates I needed, but cleartrip said there was 1 seat left. So don't rely just on ITA!

For those who booked this fare, Please keep in mind that 10-19 October are the dates for a major festival in AMD. Expect chaotic traffic. Of course, if you are just connecting directly then it won't be an issue. But if you are staying overnight or for a couple of days, I would add a little buffer time for travel to the airport. If you have a night or two in AMD, this festival is definitely worth experiencing. It's called 'Navratri'. Look it up.
For those connecting domestically from BOM,DEL, etc will arrive at Terminal 1. The SQ flight departs from Terminal 2. There is an underground walkway connecting the two terminals. Once you exit Terminal 1, the entry to the walkway will be immediately visible. Its brightly lit and well marked in English. Barely 100 feet from the exit. Show your SQ ticket and passport to the security guard ( An image of the ticket on your phone will work just fine, no matter what anyone else tells you) and he will allow you into the terminal connector. The walk is about half a mile or so. Once you exit on the Terminal 2 side, the departures entrance is right across the road.
Do keep in mind that if you are arriving into AMD flying Air India, you will be in Terminal 2 itself, so no need to change terminals. All AI flights into AMD, whether domestic or international arrive and depart from Terminal 2.

A, perhaps, rather silly question-- are flights originating in AMD non-alcoholic? A colleague flew AI DEL-JFK, and was told that they were not serving adult beverages because the flight originated in AMD. They also used this excuse to justify the no option but vegetarian meals, but that could just be Air India.

Time permitting, I'd also like to visit Gandhi's ashram at Sabarmati.

Anyone finding any flights in second half of October/first half of November with a 3-7 day stay in EWR?
Also - is there any working wifi on board the EWR Flight + cost/performance?

I'm not exactly certain if I will be arriving a day earlier or only a few hours, but if I have time in Ahmedabad, and since I am interested in modern architecture, I plan to visit Le Corbusier's buildings, as well as Lou Kahn's IIM.
Time permitting, I'd also like to visit Gandhi's ashram at Sabarmati.

Booked for February
AMD-EWR-SIN
LAX-SIN-BOM (the flight which stops in Tokyo for a couple of hours).
$2495 - it helps that the Indian Rupee is in such bad shape at the moment (saved me almost $200 from the time I first saw this deal here).
For those who've done the LAX-NRT-SIN flight
a) How long do you really get on the ground (typically) before boarding the plane again? Time to grab a snack maybe?
b) I'm assuming that you only have to do transit security - no other procedures?
