Overnight at Singapore
I will be arriving from HKG at night and departing the next day to SFO, is there anyway for me to sleep in the first class lounge or in the private room? Also, what are the operating hours of TPR? I heard it doesn't open 24/7 but i'm not sure.
Will I need to recheck my bags or can I automatically have them be tagged all the way?
Thanks!

TPR closes around 0130 or so if I recall correctly.
You can by all means sleep in the SKL F, but there aren't really any comfortable sleeping surfaces. In the SKL J there are some larger sofas which work better for this purpose, or even better, just get a room at the transit hotel for a proper sleep. Getting no sleep in order to save ~USD70 is not very F, after all!
Your baggage can be checked through, I'm sure.

Just a question: Does SQ not provide accomodation in this case with a 9-hour stopover, even for its 1st class passengers?
Why don't you fly with another airline to SFO from HKG instead of flying southwards to SIN, have to worry about where to put up and then northwards again?
Alternatively, you could also consider flying from HKG to ICN with CX in the morning then connect to the SQ flight to SFO from ICN.

I dont think SQ would pay for accomodation in a 9-hr stopover (that's what lounges are for), but also would find awkward that anyone forking out 15-20k SGD for a first class fare would be willing to save 350sgd on a proper hotel room (for instance at SIN's own Crowne Plaza hotel)...but then again if I am selling a first class ticket and the condition is that the passenger needs an overnight stay at any nearby hotel, I would have accepted the deal as it makes complete financial sense as well..
