Changi Airport Help Please
Wife and I have an Air China flight out of SIN-CTU at 2am that is on a United Biz award so we'll have Air China first since I believe it's a domestic configuration. On the *A lounge finder, do we enter 1st or Biz? If Biz we have access to two Singapore lounges and a Thai lounge. The Singapore lounges are in terminals 2 and 3 while the TG lounge is in terminal 1. Our CA flight departs from terminal 1 from what I can find. My wife wants a shower room since we'll be running around Singapore all day so we'll probably be pretty nasty by the time we get to the airport. Since we're in terminal 1 for our flight, is it possible to get to terminals 2 or 3 from terminal 1? Or can we only go to T1 since that's where our flight is leaving from?

Security in Singapore is at the Gate, so all terminals are after immigration but before security.
You'll have access to the SilverKris lounge in SIN (which is far better than the Thai one) - there is a First Class section there, but I'm (almost) sure that your ticket will only get you into the Business Class part (which is already very good) - but as the First Class Lounge is basically just a part of the SilverKris lounge, you can check upon entry there.
I'd recommend the SilverKris lounge in Terminal 3, it's much better than the one in T2.

Thanks guys. We'll probably get to the airport around 10pm and hang out till our 2am flight. Luckily our hotel will hold our bags for the day so we can pick them up at night before heading to Changi. Or earlier if we're spent.

There are lots of distractions in the airport to keep you occupied. The butterfly garden is pretty cool, but quite dark at night.
I was stuck there on an overnight layover a couple of years ago with no lounge access due to UA's stingy policies regarding issuance of BPs so I spent a lot of time in the terminal.
