Changi Airport Group (CAG) today announced that the new Terminal 4 (T4) at Changi Airport is scheduled to commence operations on 31 October 2017.
To ensure a smooth transition of flight operations from the existing terminals, the operations of the nine T4 airlines – the AirAsia Group (of four airlines), Cathay Pacific Airways, Cebu Pacific Air, Korean Air, Spring Airlines and Vietnam Airlines – will be shifted to T4 over one week on the following dates:
Tuesday, 31 October 2017 - Cathay Pacific Airways and Korean Air
Thursday, 2 November 2017 – Cebu Pacific Air and Spring Airlines
Tuesday, 7 November 2017 – AirAsia Group and Vietnam Airlines
The first arrival and departing flights at T4 will be operated by Cathay Pacific – CX659 from Hong Kong (STA[1]: 0540 hours) and CX650 to Hong Kong (STD1: 0650 hours) respectively.

From http://www.todayonline.com/singapore...et-open-oct-31
Built at where the former Budget Terminal used to be, T4 will not be linked to the other terminals by SkyTrain. Instead, shuttle buses, which will operate at 5-minute intervals during peak hours, will connect travellers to T2 via an 8- to 10-minute ride — linking them to the Changi Airport MRT Station. The free service, available around the clock, will run from both the public area and airside, for transiting passengers.

I'm wondering if it will be possible to go through immigration/get airside access at T1, T2, or T3 with a boarding pass for a CX flight from T4 and then access T4 through the airside transfer at T2?
Would like to stay at one of the airside hotels for a few hours before my departing flight but not sure if I'll have access to all terminals or only T4?
Thanks in advance!

I'm keen to get to the new CX lounge, once opened, as a PAX on other OW flights departing T1/T2. I expect given the centralised security at T4 it will be complex or time consuming, or both... Does anyone have any knowledge or indication yet as to whether this will be possible?
I'm worried that unless you leave from or land at SIN T4, you ain't getting in, airside.
Cheers,
Matt.

I don't see this as possible as the transfer will not be airside. We did the tour a few weeks ago and the centralized security and transit security make the setup very different.

Ultimately this is a policy issue, i.e. will they allow passengers who are not departing from T4 access the terminal either by clearing security at T4 or T2.
With the T2 bus transfer option with screening at the gate, there is no logistical constraint.

Sorry, by the time we got down there in the tour we were tired and just wanted to leave.

The other part of the response I wanted to share is that only transiting passengers departing from T4 are able to use the shuttle bus in T2. The way I read that is if you aren't departing from T4, you won't have access.
