1. Is it possible to transit SIN on two different tickets? If so, we do not need to clear immigration right?
2. 1K help desk seemed to think we can check bags somehow all the way to BKK if I let the US SFO agent know. Is that correct? They will coordinate the bags with SQ since they are same Alliance even though completely seperate bookings?
3. Is the connection time workable? 3 hours 15 minutes.
Thanks
I'm not sure how up to date this is, but it appears transiting on separate tickets may still not be allowed due to COVID restrictions:
Under the government’s transit travel rules, passengers who are transiting through Changi and plan to depart on a different airline, must have both flights booked in the same booking itinerary. Passengers must also have their checked-in luggage tagged-through from the origin airport to their final destination.
