CHECK-IN downloaded downloading I checked in online and my boarding pass. It's worth the SIA app as it provides useful information such as the check-in and bag drop location. This was Zone 4, Row 7 and included check-in desks, self-service boarding pass and bag tag machines, and automatic bag drop machines.

BOARDING At Changi Terminal 3, the shops are located before security. Bear this in mind given the 100ml limit on restrictions. Boarding took place at Gate B3 at 1235.

THE SEAT Premium economy has 24 recliner seats in a 2-4-2 configuration, with a grey colour scheme brightened by orange accents. There are three rows, with curtains to separate the cabin from both business and economy.

The seat is well-designed with a headrest featuring movable wings, making it more comfortable for sleeping, and an adjustable personal reading light. There is a built-in calf rest and a footrest under the seat in front (apart from in the first row - see right).
