Leave Carry-On in Private Room during Singapore Layover Excursion?
Hello Krisflyers...Couple quick questions. Wife and I will be arriving 0500 into SIN and leaving later that day at 2030 in Suites. Inbound to SIN will be on CX from HKG and not on the same reservation as the Suites flight.
Would I be able preprint boarding passes prior to arrival and have immediate access to TPR upon landing in SIN?
Can we leave our carry-ons in the lounge while we take a long layover tour of Singapore... About 10 hours?
Thanks for your help!

My layover was SQ to SQ so I'm not sure about your boarding pass question. Regarding the carry-on, we requested them to keep our bag but they said no and that I would have to use one of the baggage storage facilities in the terminal area. I believe the cost was approx $7 USD. It would be a nice service if they could keep our carry-ons in TPR.

As the previous poster says, you're almost definitely not going to be able to store your bags at TPR.
There are left luggage/bag storage counters in the terminal (airside) that you can store your bags in for a fairly nominal fee. They're a little tricky to find, but the staff at the airport (try the info desks, or even lounge staff) should be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

SQ interline baggage with CX?
If you do online check-in, you should be able to pre print your boarding passes.

The only justification I'd potentially consider valid is security as screening is done at the gate in SIN, but the SKL used to have storage lockers years ago.

A couple of times in recent years, my wife and I left our bags at the desk in TRP for several hours while strolling around the airport. Not sure if it's possible for as long a layover as yours, though.

Well, actually, at least in our experience we left the luggage with the desk personnel, who simply kept it behind them. I'd think that simply leaving it sitting around for 12 hours without anyone minding it could raise concerns.
My advice for the OP would be to obtain your SQ F boarding passes before going to TPR, preferably before getting to SIN but if not at the Transit desk there; then have breakfast at the TPR (provided it is even open and serving breakfast so early); then ask about leaving your bags; and if you can't then fall back on the easily accessible general baggage storage service.

Many lounges have luggage cubicles next to Reception where hand-held luggage is often placed by passengers, and it's probably as safe there as anywhere. However I would never dream of asking Reception if it's OK to leave something there when exiting the lounge even briefly. They will always say "No"
