This is my second flight on my trip from Hong Kong to Sydney. I took SQ865 which departed Hong Kong on 25 February 2017. You may click here to go to my flight report on SQ865. SQ865 arrived Singapore at around 11 p.m. local time. My connecting flight SQ231 departed Singapore on 00:45 local time and I had around 2 hours time for my layover at Singapore Changi International Airport.

Can you spot out SQ231 to Sydney?

So what did I do at Singapore Changi Airport? Having a walk in the terminal is a great idea, it takes you almost a day to discover the whole passenger terminals. However, going online to kill time is the best way for me!!!

Singapore Changi Airport got the Skytrax World Best Airport Award! Congratulations to SIN! 

I really love this airport, however, I would say that their free wifi is not user-friendly enough. Unlike Hong Kong International Airport, where you just need to choose to connect to the airport's wifi on your mobile device. In SIN, you have to provide them with your mobile number so that they can send you an SMS access code. Another way is to find those Free Wifi kiosks. You need to scan your passport, and the system will generate a one-time password. Note that it is only available for one device, which means you need another password if you want to connect both your mobile phone and laptop.

If you have good sight you will be able to see that there were three queues at that night: waiting outside the information counter, transfer lounge service desk and finally, getting the password for the Airport's FREE WIFI!

Luckily, it is not too hard for me to hunt for this Free Wifi kiosks thanks as I spotted out there was a long queue.

You have to get into security check first in order to proceed to gate B1-B4

Gate B2.

A LONG LONG queue. There's a lot of passengers flying the A380 tonight.

This is my first time on the A380s. I booked this flight as soon as I saw Airbus A380-800 flying SQ231!

This photo was a bit blurry because I was too excited and my hands kept vibrating 😂
