Transiting SIN on a BKK-SIN-PNH route, which airport hotel?
I am a US citizen and have been in Thailand for a month.
I plan to book a flight later this week from Bangkok to Singapore to Phnom Penh on Singapore Airlines (second flight operated by SilkAir). It would include an 18 hour stopover in Singapore.
Am I correct that this is routing is bookable and that I can/should also book the Terminal 3 Ambassador Hotel as my transit hotel? Not the Terminal 1 Aerotel?
Thanks

yeah, seems to be correct (of course things can change)

seems like SQ is using T3 at changi, so you should book T3. I guess it doesn't really matter, they'll escort you from the transit area to the hotel (T3 would be a shorter walk)

Transit passengers may wish to note that Aerotel Singapore, the transit hotel at Changi Airport Terminal 1, and Ambassador Transit Hotel at Changi Airport Terminal 3 are open for bookings. Passengers with a hotel booking will first be ushered to airport’s transit holding area for verification checks. They will be guided to the transit hotel only after the checks have been completed. They must strictly remain in the hotel throughout their stay. Upon checking out from the hotel, they will be ushered to the transit holding area before their connecting flight.

I had heard a rumor about an 8 or 12 hour limit for transits at Changi these days but it seems that was untrue.

Thanks. I actually called a live human person at Singapore Airlines and she told me the same thing, except she said she didn't know what terminal the flights would arrive/depart from.

The transit limit is 48hrs if I am not wrong.
But do take note that the transit hotel is not cheap n you can’t leave the room.
SQ usually depart from T3. The arrival terminal can be T1 though.

thanks that’s what she said 48 hours. Yes the transit hotel is ridiculously expensive.
