Jestar or deathstar? you decide!1

We got the 12.05 (midnight) flight with JetStar to Singapore. It was only 5 hours but it was a gruelling flight. The seats are really squashed up and they don't recline, so there is little or no sleeping on that flight. We also had to pay 80 dollars extra so that Paddy could take a backpack as we didn't realize that he would need to do that when we booked our flight originally.
The seats in jetstar are extra narrow compared to even Tiger airways. There was also a resounding smell of engine fuel when we landed which had me saying a few prayers!

we arrived in Singapore at 5.20 or so in the morning, hopped over to the wonderful, wonderful ambassador transit hotel inside the terminal and slept there for 6 hours. At 30 dollars each for a six hour block, it is well worth it. The room was spotless, had comfy beds, a bath and shower with shampoo and all that and tea/coffee. There is also a pool and sauna but we didn't use that as we just slept the whole time.

So Jetstar is terrible but cheap and if you really, really have to take the budget option then reward yourself with a night at the ambassador hotel in the transit lounge.

Oh, by the way, the hotel is before immigration and baggage reclaim so you cannot collect your bags! If you are not worried about anything expensive in your bag, you can just leave your bags in lost in found and collect them the next morning!
