On CX, I get a super apologetic crew (a serving of mollifying Macallan 17 in hand), handing over the ACARS message denying the request since we'd land just at the scheduled time.
On SQ, I wouldn't even bother asking.
Hey, even if there was the time, and even if the ticket allowed, the change would require a process similar to one outlined above and take a few hours.
Guess where my S$s go.
Didn't think of that but you're right, one stops asking after having bashed one's head against the brick wall of SQ's rules a few times.
