First time long haul traveller - London to Sydney via Singapore
Hey,
I'm flying back from Sydney to London and have 6 hours to spend in Singapore airport. I was thinking of booking the plaza lounge but have a few questions:
My flight is to terminal 3, but the lounge is in terminal 2, is it easy to get between the two?
Are towels/shower gels etc provided for the lounge showers?
How long before the connecting flight do I have to do back to terminal 3? Do I have to check in or go through security/immigration etc again?
Any other tips for making the travelling more bearable!?
Many thanks in advance,
graham

rugbygraham - Welcome to FlyerTalk. 
There is a free Skytrain connecting terminals 2 and 3. It is easy to transfer and you do not need to go through security/immigration again. I cannot comment on the plaza lounge. There is a Transit Hotel in each terminal which you can book for 6 hours, if you wish. SIN is a great airport to connect through. Further SIN information here:

Yes.
No immigration needed. Check in at the transfer counters once you arrive and get your boarding pass, then you're free. Security is at the gate, so get there a little early (20 min is usually fine).
Changi just might be the most bearable airport on the planet. 
But as others have said, with 6 hours, you can easily nip into the city by taxi if you want.

Changi is a fine airport, but any airport for six hours is too long.
Take a transit tour, see a bit of the city, even better it is free. ^
