Assuming you are on SQ on one-through ticket?

In which case, 90 minutes is plenty of time, even if you do need to get from T3 to T2. There is a small chance the FRA-SIN flight will arrive at T2. SQ do often have staff at the gate for connecting passengers if the inbound flight is late.

Yes SQ on one ticket. Thanks! I feel much better about this super long journey now.

That is a long journey! Even if your inbound flight is significantly delayed there are a lot of flights to DPS and SQ will put you on one of them.
Have a great trip! Bali is wonderful.

I will be arriving on TK from IST at 17:15 T1 connecting to T4 Vietnam Airlines at 20:25 on separate tickets. No checked luggage. Likely will need to check in with VN in SIN. Is 3 hrs enough time to connect? What if I was to have checked luggage, would there be enough time?

Without checked luggage, 1 hour would be sufficient to get from T1 to T4.

Arriving from LAX into SIN on UA at 06.55; connecting to SQ to RGN at 07.55. No luggage and *A Gold. Separate tickets on UA stock. Knowing that this will be tight, does this meet Changi MCT? Thanks.

MCT only applies to connections - i.e. between flights on a single ticket.

1 hour is tight but doable on a single ticket. Very risky on two tickets.

Very risky indeed. Just a 10 min delay will mean you missing the flight and having to buy a new one. I am sure there aren't many daily flights to RGN too.

Like others have said it’ll only be doable if the UA flight doesn’t arrive late. Both flights are in T2 and the security check is at the gate. Just make sure you do OLCI for the SQ flight, and print/save the BP if possible.

Hi all, in December we’re travelling BNE-SIN-KIX, with checked luggage. It’s all on one SQ ticket, but we arrive in SIN at 00:10 and depart to KIX at 01:30, which gives us 80 minutes to transit. I know this shouldn’t be a problem for us passengers even if we have to transit terminals, as long as our BNE flight is on time. But I’m wondering if this is enough time for our checked luggage to get from our BNE-SIN flight to our SIN-KIX flight? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!

SIN is a very efficient airport. Shouldn't be any issue at all.

Agreed with last post. There won’t be any issue with this connection time, barring any delays to arrival but the window here is you could probably be delayed by 30-35 mins and still make connecting flight with time to spare.
