This gives me a 9-hour layover and it is highly unlikely I will get my BP for the second leg at LHR. I do not require a visa to enter Turkey, but my main aim is to get to the *G lounge without having to wait for the SQ desks (both landside/airside) to open in the late morning. Will an etkt printout of the SQ flight be sufficient to get me through transfer security and get into the TK lounge until the SQ desks open for me to get my IST-SIN BP printed?

Thanks!
I think you can get free hotel if both flights are operated by TK.
