Accessing SIN OW lounge when flying BA
Possibly asked already elsewhere, although my google search returned no results for this...
Anyway the question is: I am flying from SIN to LHR on a BA flight, can I enter the CX lounge at T4?
As I know T4 is fully automated I guess my BA boarding pass would not allow me in, but I was thinking if once I am in T1 I can then use the skytrain + shuttle combo to reach T4 having already passed immigration & security and enter the CX lounge (which seems open to all OW passengers according to OW website).
Thoughts?

As this is about CX lounge access policies at SIN, we’ll move it over to our Cathay Pacific forum where there’ll be greater experience of this.

And mobile boarding passes won't be accepted, I tried before.

Not possible as there is a staff guarding the entrance to the Shuttle Bus to T4. You'll be requested to show you're inbound arrival boarding pass arriving to T1/2/3 and your outburst departure boarding pass of a carrier departing T4.
And mobile boarding passes won't be accepted, I tried before.

Now, while I don't know the exact circumstances that you were rejected from the opposite direction, but I wonder if it was because a) they only allow it one direction (T4 > T2), b) you didn't have enough time to get back. If I recall correctly, they only allow you to change terminals if you have 2 hours on your boarding pass (or maybe it was 1hr and a half).

Interesting. I did it the other way round. Went from T4 (travelling CX) and wanted to meet a friend in T2 before they flew off. They checked my boarding pass and let me go onto the shuttle bus.

there has been cases / reports of T4 passengers going to other terminals

I was flying CX,but got my boarding pass from T4, travelled landside to T2, passed immigration at T2, went to T1 QF and BA Lounge
You may be checked by the staff at the entrance to the Shuttle back to T4 if you do it this way, so maybe you should enter airside in T4 first, then go take the Shuttle to T2 I wasn't sure they would let people go from T4 to T2 as I previously heard reports of people rejected, therefore I used the method above. (I just mention I had ample amount of time, around 10-12 hours until my flight depart)
