I want to think it is my arriving one, because not sure about SIN specifically, but most lounges here in US won’t let you even enter until 3 hours prior to your flight. I do remember going into SATS this spring at SIN after arrival on a TR redeye, and again, don’t remember which BP I showed, but definitely was told I could only stay for 3 hours - we left before then (I don’t know about others - while it’s nice to have access to a lounge for a little while, mostly don’t want to stay for multiple hours on end anyway…). I don’t know for sure if/how they planned to monitor that and if I would have been asked to leave then.
generally pp lounges in SIN have the 3hr limit, but i dont think they impose a 3 hour prior requirement. i have also heard of people doing lounge hopping in SIN, especially since you cna check in your luggage up to 24hrs prior to your flight, so it should be possible to enter lounges more than 3 hrs before the flight
i was also in a lounge in hnd more than 3hrs hrs before departure. my arriving flight was delayed and i missed my original connecting flight, so i had some trouble getting into the lounge as i didnt have my new bp yet. so quite sure they wanted the departure bp and is ok with access more than 3hrs prior
