That is not correct ....no need to pay to use in BNE and Mel....the footnote is an internal note indicating how much the bank has to pay on behalf of cardholders, for the australian lounges being higher than others.....

Yes, if your bank allows access.....

Lots of people do that, if if you have time to spare....

The KLIA express takes only 3 min and cost only RM2. There is a free bus shuttle, but is too inconvenient....

Klia2 separates arrival from departure.....so no access to airside lounges on arrival....

If you are only arriving, then no access....

If you are also departing (ie transiting), then you can go into the departure area....then you have access to blossoms....or if you have enough time, take a shuttle to T1(ppl) or T2(tgm)....

T123 have common departure and arrival transit area, and all internally linked, so you can clear immigration in any terminal if you don't have checked in bags...,

T4 is separated from t123, and has departure and arrival separation.....if you are only arriving, you must clear immigration in T4 itself....

The green market.....

Remove your capslock.....typing in capitals is like shouting....

No....see post 4 in front.....

Technically correct.... although don't know if anyone has tested it before....I have stayed 6 hrs at Changi PPL overnight but using 2 separate cards, swiped at the same time....

There is no proper place to lie down, the closest flat surface is the semicircular seatings....the lights are on, there is persistent noise due to people coming in and out, and eating, despite the late hours...

At that time, it's not crowded so no problem finding a cubicle to yourself....

Only did it because didn't not book a transit hotel in advance, and no room available....

A few years ago, did the same at the old dnata lounge in T1 using priority pass....there was an inner section where the lights could be switched off, took the sofa seats and lay on floor and lie down....had better sleep!....

If just a few hours, can try the new land side nap rooms at the haven by jetquay.....cheaper than the 6hr blocks at the airside transit hotels....

If I travel alone, I don't mind that lounges....but if with wife, must "open room" lah.....lol

the transit hotels charges about sgd130 for a 6 hr block....

this new hotel charges sgd170 per night.....

if it's just a 6 hrs sleep you want, and have a very early departure, use the airside transit hotel....

if it's a longer stay, especially if the departure is in mid day or later, then can use the yotel....but any downtown hotel will also work...

Guys, all information on early check ins are available in the Changi website....just goggle it lah to check your airline's policy....

For SQ, you can check in up to 48hrs before, buy bag drops only allowed 24hrs before....

If you are on transit connecting same airline within 24hrs, your airline should be able to check you through....

If connecting different airline, then it depends on the agent at your original departure airport if they are willing to check you through....all FSA with interline agreements CAN check through both passenger and bags....but some agents are not willing....

If you are not checked through, then the beauty of the world's best airport comes into play....you can get transited through at the transit area, no need go out and collect bags.... although your bags are only labelled to SIN, on arrival, just go to the transfer desk, show your onward booking, and if within 24hrs/calender day (different airlines different policy) the transfer desk agent can then check you in your next flight, issue boarding passes, AND collect your bags and relabel to your final destination.....without leaving the transit area....you can then go enjoy the lounges....

Note this refers to FSA.... LCC will not be able to accommodate this...

Check in bags only 24hrs prior....

Once you enter the transit area, you cannot leave to landside without flying....unless you have a very good reason....

if you are flying sq transiting through changi, there is no problem checking through, even if the next day, have done it many times, and changi is 100% safe.....nobody will break into your bag....

klia on the other hand.....hence mh's advice....

aiyo....why must spoonfeed one....google it lah....

sq in all terminals (ie t2 and t3) as well as the new Jewel, has dedicated "early check in" lounges....yes special dedicated separate lounges for early check ins....other airlines have special counters open throughout the specified opening hours for early check in and bag drops...

all class of travel allowed...

people are so used to crappy service (klia) and crappy airlines (aa) that you all are programmed to expect the worst and don't know what"world class" means.....

MH does allow early bag drop within calender day, if you don't mind the bags in the cargo holding area for a long time....have done before....(also can drop bag night before, but in business class)....

In any case, check ins start usually 3 hrs before.....have arrived 4 hrs prior, queue up, drop bags when it opens and still enjoy 2+hrs of lounge....and sometimes, they just accept your bags even 4 hrs before.....

Next month departing Changi with sq, going to drop bags early and enjoy the new jewel.....lol

Each airport, and each airline has their own policy regarding check in, and bag drops....

Most airports adopts the standard policy of 3 hrs bag drop before flights....Changi stands out as one that encourages transit passengers to visit....they have many extra services to facilitate that ...

In the old days they have the Singapore stopover holidays for as cheap as USD1....they still have the stopover tours...the left luggage charges are cheap.... efficient public transport right to the terminals....

AND.....the long standing policy of early bag drop.....

All with one single simple aim..... encourage you to go downtown and spend money...lol

In some destinations, the airlines MUST ensure compliance with immigration rules.... including processing a valid visa, and/or a return/onward booking....failing which the airlines get fined if passenger arrives and gets turned back.......

So it's necessary.... where were you going?.....

both are designed into KL Sentral....

only the departure check in at sentral is working....used by mh, od and cx....drop your bags and then ride the train up...

the arrival facility was never used....there is an area near the arrival hall with a carousel for arriving bags....

Of course, have done that a few times....

In fact, if your cc allows, you can enter any of the 3 landside ppl properties in klia2 with any boarding pass.....including arriving pass at KLIA....
