Transfer between flights

The minimum time for a seamless transfer within one flight is 45 minutes. If you are making a transfer on your own from two separate bookings, ideally allow 3 hours or more for the transfer.

How do I transfer at Singapore Airport?

1. When you get off the plane, follow the signs "Transfer"
2. Look for the departure gate number on the departure board
3. Go through transit security

The transfer is very well signposted and organised, and the only obstacle may be the longer distances between terminals. However, in most cases you will only be transferring within one terminal or between terminals 2 and 3, which are right next to each other.
