Now the other AY rep said
If you book the BKK-SIN -flight as Finnair's codeshare with AY-flight number, you'll also get points from that flight even the operating airline isn't member of Oneworld.
If the BKK-SIN flight is booked as AY flight with economy pro ticket to booking class Y, you will earn about 1 430 points.

SIN is one of those horrible airports where security is right before the gate - and then you are stuck waiting until actual boarding. You cannot transit without going through security in any way.

Beware that Finnair has interline agreements with (at least some) JetStar-branded carriers, such that, on some routes, you might be offered itineraries including JetStar flights without AY codes.

The only airport where I've experienced the same system is BEG. Reportedly, CMB has the same system, too.

And I think it's horrible because it fails to balance passenger loads in any reasonable fashion. Sure, if you have priority, and there are no other flights open at the same satellite simultaneously and the priority queue is properly segregated, then it works. But that's a lot of if's. And in any case, it's an extra delay to account for to time your gate arrival. And, as said, if you end up too early, you're parked in a small space with nothing but insufficient seating.
It also assumes that all transit passengers are screened, so it's intrinsically inconvenient.
The real benefit is that passengers only occupy one floor instead of two. But as a passenger, I couldn't care less.

I may be wrong on this, but shouldn't all pre-orders be handled as any airport-purchased duty free items? They are also sealed and you are not allowed to open them onboard. Even onboard the crew should have sealable bags just for this purpose. I'm sure I was once asked if I needed the sealable bag due to connecting flights, but can't guarantee it was on AY (most likely it was, though).
