Thanks All...
Although they are elderly and can still walk fine - just slower. Is it 'nice' to get a wheelchair for this purpose?..
I'm hoping CPH has some sort of ground representative/escort?
And Yes both flights are booked in 1 PNR via OTA as it is 30% cheaper in J.
OTA has not been very helpful (as expected), will try to HUCA and see how it goes with earlier flight alternatives.

CPH is a very good airport and you'll have some protection if it's all on the same ticket, but the best case scenario here is going to be very stressful. This is obviously not completely your fault, given SQ's schedule change, but you'd have to consider whether you'd be happy to be delayed at least overnight in the event you misconnect. With flights as full as they are, there's also no guarantee you'd get on the next service, so there seems to be plenty that could go wrong here.

(I assume it is as OP only mentioned the need to clear immigration). But as walks can be lengthy at CPH, the wheelchair support makes a whole lot of sense.
