    The way is to the destructive element submit yourself,
    and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water
    make the deep, deep sea keep you up...

    It is a really great airport for transit. You should have no problems with finding a good place to rest, as well as relax. There are also good food places, bars, internet kiosks, coffee places, smokers room etc etc.
    Signages are VERY VERY clear. If not, I am sure you can always find airport staff to direct you around.

    In each Terminal there is a Ambassador transit hotel with showers and short term room rentals. Some restaurants open 24 hours/day. 24 hour per day free internet terminals and WiFi. No need to leave the airport or get a visa as long as you are in transit. Free phones on the wall if you need to call Singapore City.

    Transit Hotel
    If you need a short rest after a long journey, you can book a room at the Transit Hotels which are located on Level 3 of both terminals. You do not have to clear Immigration to get to the hotel

    Don't miss the Orchid Garden and Carp (Koi) Pond in Terminal 2 on the second level just below the Transit Hotel. At the opposite end is a fern garden.

    finding the facilities will be a breeze; just ask the first airport staff u see after you disembark your plane.. everything's in english; both verbal and written communication. Its a big airport, especially when compared to how tiny our country is.. thus there might be a bit of walking involved if you happen to disembark at a gate that's far from the transit hotel.. hope you enjoy ur transit here..

    I work at the airport and can attest to what the other Boarders have said. You definitely will have no problem whiling those 5 hours away - even if you don't catch up on snooze. Do visit the Changi Airport website as it contains all the information you'd need.

    Thanks eveyone. I think I got enough info to sort over. This sure will help us out. Once we go from LA to Singapore I know we want to hit the showers. Gotta get wet before we go diving.

    Changi is by far my favorite airport. And having a reasonably priced transit hotel is only 1 of many reasons... -Andy
