Bump. This is for the early morning flight NH 802 at 6:30 a.m. I was at the transfer counter on Sunday to check in for the UA flight which leaves at 5:45. The UA counter opened at 3:45 a.m. and I got there at around 4 a.m. By that time no NH counter was staffed and no one knew when they open. Hope someone can help out.

I seem to recall the transfer desks open throughout the night (at least certain ones among the 6 transfer counters)
However transfer check-in is subject to Early check-in hours as posted here

I am booked on NH 802 at 6:30am later this month. They suggest that I arrive at the check in between 3:30 and 5:30am for this flight, which seems absolutely brutal. I saw on http://www.changiairport.com/content.../airlines.html that they seem to offer early check-in. However, the woman in customer service with whom I spoke was not familiar with this.
Would I be able to check in around 10 or 11pm the night before the flight, go through security, then stay in a transit hotel for a few hours? It would be far less stressful. I also have access to the Star Alliance lounge, so I could spend some time in there.

No problem with doing this. I have done this several times in the past year. I'm typically booked on NH802 and check-in the night before when NH804 and NH844 are checking in. I then clear immigration and stay in the transit hotel in T2 until NH802 is ready to board.
