I'm planning for a trip in June. Thinking of arriving on UA which usually arrives around 6-7AM? Then onwards on SQ, either the 2PM or 4PM departure.
I believe both use T3? I heard that there is a rule that you cannot linger inside the terminal until 3(?) hours prior to your departure?
Very doable unless your flight is delayed for more than 3-4 hours. We had a 6 hour transit and had to wait around the check-in counter for the next flight which didn’t open till 3 hours before flight. You can wait inside terminal but there is limited seating. If you have carry on luggage and boarding pass for next flight you may go directly to gate after clearing immigration and custom.
