I’m debating between a 6 or 25 hour layover in Singapore. Most lounges allow “same day” access. If I arrive Friday at 11pm, have Saturday to kill, and depart Sunday at 1am, would the lounges only let me enter from 12am-1am on Sunday?

Does anyone have experiences with a layover in SIN? Would 25 hours be excessive?

If you have no interest in leaving the airport, I’d do the 6 hour layover. If you want to go into Singapore, do the 25 hour layover.

Thanks Z1!

If you’re flying on Singapore, do the longer layover and do their stopover tour. Worth it if you’ve got the hours to spend

Here are the details for the tour

I’d do the 25 hour one. You can actually check your luggage into a storage area and then leave the airport to explore. I did this with my parents. We had about an 8ish hour layover and we left to take the train to meet a family friend for dinner then came back. Plus the mall there beautiful!!

Your answer should really be based upon whether or not you want to explore the city... If so, then the longer layover and if not, then the shorter.

You want to spend 25 hours in a lounge…?

Not quite, but it’s good to be aware of what my options may be.

A work trip? Jeez: take the shorter layover

No, this is a personal trip 🙂

The lounges are closed at night. Had an overnight layover and regretted not leaving the airport

Yeah there are a few non-airlines operated lounges opened at nights and are in different terminals than the terminal (2?) where most international flights depart from . I visited those and was pretty unimpressed.

Plus, don’t they let you in only 3 hours prior to departure?

Got it. The moment I learned the 3 hour thing the whole appeal of lounges died for me.
