Wonder what can AAHK do to SQ/TR here? Move them to T2? Then bus gate the A380?

Not sure how you would enjoy the lounge at those ungodly hours! My pick would be the redeye CX714 since you could help yourself to the Moet before falling drunk asleep on the short flight up. But I would switch to a daytime flight even if the lounge would be more crowded

For passengers departing on Cathay Pacific (CX) at T4, passengers would need to check-in at T4, and enter immigration at T4.
You may then approach the Information Counter within the T4 transit area (right after the duty free zone), and inform the customer service agents there that you have a transit hotel booking in T2.
The customer service agent will then arrange for you to take the airside bus to T2 for your transit hotel stay. When you are ready to return to T4 for departure, please proceed to T2 Gate F51 for the airside bus back to T4.

Anyone tried to enter BA/QF lounge with CX boarding pass? (i.e. take the airside bus from T4 to T2, enter lounge, and then take the airside bus back to T4)
Care to share your experience? Thanks in advance.

I don't see your point. You and the other posters are in agreement.

Had a meeting in SIN and decided to book CX for a mileage run for the wife's SL status (which is a pain coming from MNL knowing how many direct flights to SIN there are - PR and SQ for instance). I must say that T4 isn't that bad despite lacking connection to T1-3. I think that the connection is in the works, so at least until that is up, CX passengers have to contend with the hermit status of T4.
That being said, I like the dedicated CX lounge - especially the laksa. The small terminal is not crowded, which is a plus, but CX seems to depart from the gate farthest from the lounge, which I find strange. The walk is longer than the walk to gate 110 out of MNL from the lounge.

I normally could get home by 9pm after the CX711 arrival from T1. Now I arrived home closer to 10pm from T4.
The only thing I get out of arriving at T4 is I get to buy a box of fresh Mao Shan Wang whenever I transfer at T2 at the Durian Empire Shop.

I have done all of one flight on CX to SIN T4 so far. And no departures. So hardly much experience yet. My 1/2 impression was the terminal itself was very nice and put together. The obvious downside was the long walk from the gate as many people have now pointed out. IIRC it took me about 5+ minutes very brisk walking from deplaning to security. If you have any mobility issues whatsoever, are elderly, are pregnant, lugging infants, or even just have a lot of heavy carry-ons, I could see the walk being a turn off.
There are a few of those flat escalator things, but not enough. If they had double the escalator mover things it would go a long way to being a very nice arrival.
The place was spanking clean, easy bathrooms, reading some of the initial feedback here I was prepared for a crappy budget terminal. Definitely doesn't have the low end vibe at all. Very nice! Just the walk is bad. Hopefully they can install a few more escalators.
