Advantages: Fantastic airport

Disadvantages: Can't think of any

Facilities for computer/PDA/internet users ..

If you want to surf the net or collect your e-mail, there are facilities for it. There are desks you can work at, plugs that you plug your notebook into to recharge, and telephone sockets to plug your modem into. And, no, this is not in the business class lounge, this is in the regular departure area.

In both terminals, you can find desks (yes, desks where you can do proper work) with power points and telephone points. Local calls are free, so as long as you have a local number, you can surf and e-mail to your hearts delight (Note: these are in the regular economy lounges).

There are also internet cafe type facilities too, if you haven't got your computer with you.

And recently, they were offering throughout the airport access for special modems (blue-tooth ones I think). They will even lend you (free, though with a deposit) a wireless modem. There are also places with infrared connections, so that you can connect to the Internet with your PDA. (Instructions for Palm-type PDAs can be found at http://www.spug.org/palmairport.htm -- this is the Singapore Palm Users Group website)

If you have forgotten anything that are good computer stores in both terminals which will sell you the printer lead you left at home, or the new Palm Vx you have spent the last ten hours gazing jealousy at in your seatmates hand.
