Staying at Crowne Plaza at the airport was really great! It’s easy to spend time in the city and worthwhile even for a 24 hour layover. The airport is of course fabulous and probably enough for entertainment for under 6 hours layovers

Cathay has been the most generous with good food, luggage requirements and general care that I have ever found on this leg of my flights. The Cathay lounge in HK is exceptional and I always look forward to my layover with them. Good food, several types to choose from and a lounge that provides a flat surface for laying down for a while to get some needed sleep. Cool and quiet. Wider seats on board than any other airline I have found, great meals and comfort being their number one concern other than safety.
AjayFlew with Singapore AirlinesLAX-SINDec 2023
Although the flight is listed as 17 1/2 hours, actual flight time was only 16 1/2. Bring a sleep mask to ensure you rest during your flight - it helps reduce so e of the flight time and helps you arrive more refreshed.
Verified travelerFlew with Singapore AirlinesSFO-SINJan 2024
The Singapore Changi airport if huge. After getting of the aircraft, the walk to immigration control was long. Once you get to the control area, the process was quick and easy.
RobertFlew with Philippine AirlinesYYZ-MNLFeb 2024
If you fly business class Fly on A350 as it has updated interior. Avoid the 777 as it is very dated and is a glorified premium economy by today’s standards
JeffFlew with Singapore AirlinesSEA-SINJan 2024
Delta & Alaska have best boarding process! Singapore airlines was ok!
