BA SYD-LHR - time at Sin?
Hi,
We are flying back from Sydney tomorrow in Club and I am wondering if it’s feasible to take a look at the new waterfall at Changi? How long do you tend to get during the changeover and does this work with logistics likes terminals etc?
Thanks

I would say no - you would need to pass through immigration to visit the Jewel, and of course enter airside again afterwards.
It is impressive and always recommend a stay over in Singapore, great city for a couple of nights.

I'm slightly more optimistic here but purely depends on the immigration queue on the day . Pop your head over and you can see if its empty. If it were you could have a go. But T1 has recently got a lot busier due to airline moves and I've seen some very long lines recently. Also note immigration may refuse entry for such a short time.
Coming back to the gate you will be using an egate for passport and there wouldn't be a queue. Security itself is at the gate either way
Would I do it? No. It would be the briefest of looks and it's not lifechangingly impressive. Plan a stopover next time instead

This is a brilliant idea. I don't think it's T1 though, but T2 to T3 since T1 is at the centre of the U shape structure of T1/2/3 and 2 and 3 are at each side of it. T1 is also directly adjacent to Jewel. But if one really wants to see it, the Skytrain should indeed give a good view. And it shouldn't be long to catch trains, even if you have to catch three.

Agree with this suggestion. The airside Skytrain that links T2 & T3 passes through Jewel and right next to the rain vortex. You will have to take the Skytrain from T1 to either T2 or T3 (and then back again) but the journey time is less than five minutes between terminals and trains are very frequent.
