Then he has to do all of the above in reverse. Safest is to order in.

As regards taxi vs MRT, I tend to agree that, even with a bit of traffic, it will be quicker to get there by taxi. At least to go. To come back, if it s rush hour and it rains, he may not find one to take him back. SO my advice is take a cab to go, and plan enough time to go back by MRT. In all instances, there is enough time for one session, but it may tight for 2.

Don't listen to these naysayers. Three hours is more than enough time.

Safe bet: call for an outcall, or let the fingers do the walking (Yellow Pages)

Posts: 230I really don't think that it's very do-able. You have to factor in other timesinks such as walking from Changi to the MRT, waiting for the MRT to arrive, etc. Walking from Aljunied MRT to the houses on Lor 20 or so is at least a good 10-15 mins.
The best option, if price is no object is to book a room at the airport hotel and arrange for an outcall. Are you leaving at midnight?

Posts: 309From memory it doesn't take an hour to clear customs. Just make sure you know the layout of the airport to find the quickest way to MTR and have a printed map of Geylang handy to guide you. Maybe try one of the Fragrance chains to book a ST room. With planning it can be done and you may even manage two sessions and a beer.
According to this map you have about 18 minutes to get from Changi to Aljunied MRT station so its highly doable. I have made this journey myself at night so make sure you exit on the correct side of the station or else you could get lost.

Good luck.

It might be quicker, and cheaper, to jump a cab or the MRT down to Geylang, and find a SW or go to one of the Lor houses ??

Posts: 120Suggestion on strategy
Hi fellow mongers,
Just wanted to get you experience on a strategy for a shorttime airport stopover.
Is it practical to get a taxi from the airport, find a freelancer, use her hotel and get back to the airport in 3 hours? I have 4 hours available and allow 1 hour to clear immigration.
I'm thinking no hand baggage, leave at airport in a locker. Taxi to OT about 8pm at night though, is that too early? Spend 30 minutes and 1 expensive beer making a choice.
Hotel: maybe if I book an airport hotel room I can play longer and stay closer to departure time. This would increase return taxi money for the lady. Other alternative is to pick a hotel that night, although I feel paranoid arriving there with any luggage and just a good looking lady. Thoughts?
How practical/cost effective is it to find a freelancer for home delivery to the hotel? I'd have to be able to organise that before leaving Sydney.
Appreciate your thoughts. Obviously at this stage I'm looking to maximise bang time but also respect that I don't have a lot of time to make it good. My previous posts in this forum will hopefully demonstrate my commitment to ISG mongering.

I prefer that nobody asks about prices before leaving the towers but then I prefer to seek out the newcomers. If there is a negotiation it is always for LT and I always tell them $$$ (whatever) 'plus more if you are good'.
If they want to do an early runner due to their friends crisis or whatever I always dock $50 off the agreed amount and they get no extra for being good. Simple.
