Transfer HKG and ICN between SQ flights
I'm gooing to SIN in few months, and I want to try the New Business Class. The best option is to go to HKG or ICN.
If I go to HKG, I want to take the same flight back to SIN.
If I go to ICN, I want to take a late evning flight back to SIN
My question is: if I decide to go to either HKG or ICN, do I have to pass immigration and customs in eithe rHKG/ICN, or is there a SQ transfer desk I can go to, and get the new boarding pass issued and then go straight to the lounge?
Thanks

At both HKG and ICN you can transit/turnaround without clearing immigration.
If it is all on one ticket then easiest is to get the return boarding pass when you check in for the first flight (at SIN or elsewhere). If not then you'll need to visit the transfer desk.
At HKG transfer desk is opposite immigration (well there is another down the pier but this is not near the gates SQ uses). Go here first before security as security won't let you through without boarding pass (itinerary or ticket is not good enough).
At ICN need to show security onward ticket, transfer desk is upstairs on departure level opposite where you come out from the escalator/lift from transit security.
Such transits are very easy at both airports.

NRT is the same as ICN - transfer desk is beyond security. So if no onward boarding pass you will need your ticket to get through.
All these airports are very easy to do turnarounds in, with or without the return boarding pass being issued at check in.
