Q. I am flying Qantas flight QF 10. How long do we get in Singapore airport? Do you have to change planes? Do you have enough time for shopping? I didn't ask about flight duration, I asked about the length of the stop-over in Singapore. Also, if you are just going to "guess" please don't bother answering the question. Thank you. Asked by London Aussie - Fri Nov 17 08:28:25 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. if you're in Flight QF10 all the way from london to melbourne then no you're not changing planes. they're likely to be picking up or dropping off passangers in singapore and re-fuelling which usually takes about an hour. some airlines dont allow people (who are continuing) to get off the aircraft but most do especially after a long flight. they get a crew in, to clean up the aircraft for the newcoming pessengers. in that case you'd be asked to leave for about an hour which really isnt a very long time to look around the airport. it's a big airport. but then if you know what you're after( as oppose to taking your time and browsing) then it's possible to just run and grab what you want. hope this helps.
