On a previous post Stevem said how he prefers to go from Syd via Singapore then Phuket.........I'm with him on that, all the way to the bank.
Too late to change now...........I shouldn't be negative, but have a feeling it's gonna be far from Singapore Airlines standards.
I will say now that I'll be using Singapore in April even before I fly Jetstar.

I agree with Easyrider. Although I don't fly Jetstar, I must say that the connection via Singapore is really smooth. Earlier this month I had the SQ flight from Amsterdam and used Tiger Airways to Phuket. Moreover, On a regular base, SQ promotes cheap flights to Phuket in combination with Silk Air, which is SQ's regional daughter.
Tiger Airways is a budget airline with really cheap rates, but they either fly early in the morning or late in the evening. Sil Air has at least 3 flights per day on more convenient times. Just check the websites regularly.
Success,
