Back in my favourite airport in the world and made my way to TPR.

I wanted to maximize as much time in TPR as possible since it would be my first (and possibly last) time that I would see the new version. The last time I was in TPR, it was circa 2017. I decided to camp out there until my 7am departure next day to CGK.

Up the stairs to heaven.

I was welcomed and escorted into TPR, given a quick tour and left to my own devices.

Took a seat and the staff inquired if I wanted anything to drink. Started off with water.

Dining area

Looking down on the main T3 concourse area

Asked for a shower room and got one after a 10 minute wait.

Had dinner afterwards and took a seat in the dining area.

Menu

Stir Fry Beef Hor Fun – yum

Poached Lobster with Caviar

After dinner, I inquired about getting a nap room and got one with a two hour time limit. Reading the FT forums indicated that the staff were not strict on the time limit so decided to risk it all and stay until I got kicked out. Had a solid 6 hours in the nap room and was eventually kicked out around midnight for other passengers. The only irritating thing was that the lights would auto come on every 2 hours, so had to get up to shut it off as the switch was near the door and no switches near the bed – #firstworldproblems.

After freshening up, I grab an empty couch and worked my way through a bottle to kill the time.

TPR closes between 2.30am to 5.30am for cleaning. As such, we were requested to move over to the FCL.

Grabbed a seat near the back of the lounge

The buffet was open and decided to see what was there. TBH, the food selection was really good.

Made to order items.

Roti Prata with chicken curry and Fried Hokkien Mee – these two dishes really hit the spot at 3am.

Around 5.00am, I hopped on the skytrain from T3 to T2 to try out the SQ FCL there.

Next up – SQ F – SIN to CGK
