I really don't mind trying new airlines though and I haven't flown Silk before.I figured they would let me in somewhere, the question is just which lounge. This is the exact stated requirement (on the airport website) for the SIA SilverKris Lounge:
"All Star Alliance (First Class / Business Class), SilkAir Business Class and Economy Class Passengers holding PPS Membership Card"
Am I Star Alliance? Well my ticket is, just not the operating airline (despite being owned by one.
Does the last part mean SilkAir Business Class is OK or does it mean "Business Class and Economy Class [...] holding PPS Membership" ?

My advise for the flight: Avoid seats in row 1, the legroom is inferior.

SQ SKL should be able to accept you reason sq181 and sq182 are operated by both SQ b772 and MI A320 pretty much depends which day you will be with them.
You will entitled *A benefit shall be coded SQ.

It's a *A award ticket issued by UA (and I will arrive in SIN via TK and SQ if that matters)..

Any input is very much appreciated, thanks!

Just note, if you are truly there middle of the night (after last SQ flight goes out, which on some nights is the BCN flight around 2am, but could be earlier if not), the food offerings disappear until they start serving breakfast. During that dead time, staff are able to offer only instant noodles, in my experience.
