Terminal 3 reminds me of being in one of Heathrow&#8217;s terminals. Leave plenty of time to walk from gate to gate (up to 20 minutes).<\/li>\n<li>US flights probably always leave from Terminal 3, around gates A16-A20. The gates are speculation, mainly because of the extra security available out there. (A18, for Los Angeles, A16 for San Francisco, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m right).<\/li>\n<li>Within A16-A20, you&#8217;ll not notice any power sockets available for your laptop. Clearly, very negative for the business traveller.<\/li>\n<li>You can get free wireless, via the Wireless@SG access point. Just get your mobile phone to roam to SingTel, and enter *186. You&#8217;ll be sent an SMS back, with a username and password. Happy surfing (IMAPS\/SMTPS\/HTTP\/HTTPS\/SSH all work).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s about it.
