It was re john_ny. Not that I shouldn't get an F in reading comprehension on general principle. While I can of course read, just don't really make too much of an effort unless I'm being paid for it.

Pack light. Bring only what you will need on the trip.
[QUOTE=jondo;35637589]Noise canceling headphones help alot with falling asleep even if you don't listen to music. Put on some long white noise audio track if the "active" noise calling mode the headphones come with isn't enough.[/QUOTE] This. Also, United's IFE has "relax mode" on most of its widebody planes (which will include your SIN-SFO flight). I just put on a track, turn off the monitor, and sleep, but you can also leave the monitor on if you like the screensaver. |

Do you get some travel guide? I was planning to go to Singapore to in solo and it's going to be my first time.
ah I did not, I'm a Singapore native and this was my first time out of Asia in general. Do hit me up if you're still interested in coming! I've a list of must-go places and food to have

If you hold some locally issued credit cards (DBS Altitude, Citi Premiermiles, SCB, etc) that give you Priority Pass lounge visits, you can use the SATS lounge at T3 in Changi (this you probably already know, there are other lounges as well, SATS is better) and three restaurants in SFO that are in T3, T2 and International terminal. If you have AMEX Platinum (as locals call - '1712 card') you can go to Centurion Lounge which is in T3. International terminal, T2/T2 are interconnected airside.
Your luggage won't be checked-thru. You will need to pick up your luggage at SFO and re-check at the final destination. When you pick up your luggage after customs, do not exit to the Arrivals section, rather look for the sign that says Connection. Take your luggage and re-check there. You will avoid the misery of doing this at the departure section and going thru security again. Michigan in November, from Singapore...can hor? I am sure you are going to pack adequately - you are gonna have at least a 30C-40C difference in outdoor temperature. P.S. Don't expect any kopi, teh, laksa, char kwai tow, nasi lemak - any food you are familiar with in Singapore to be available there. On the other hand, you will have the opportunity to enjoy excellent steak instead of 'western food' at hawker centers and try Chicago-style deep-dash pizza. And don't wander alone at night. Even not alone - don't, see what happened at NYC this week... (a former Singapore resident for >>10 years) |

And actual authentic western food is so much better than the ones you get at Astons and the like
But better not to come in June-August - it is scorching hot. |
I'd throw New Mexico on the list for solid west / southwest cuisine. Albuquerque is an underrated town for good food.
