The Private Room is only for those departing and connecting to SQ F class.
The First Class lounge is for those connecting from First Class on Singapore Airlines, those flying First Class on Star Alliance partners, PPS members, etc.
You are allowed one guest into the first class lounge as a First Class passenger, but not into the Private room itself.

A1: There’s no official site other than stating the Private Room is for SQ F.
Q2: I'm flying XXX - SIN in First class and then SIN - YYY in Business/Economy class. Will I have access to TPR based on my inbound First class ticket?

Hey all,
Semi related to this, I am flying Suits SIN-LHR later this year, I will arriving in SIN from BKK on a separate ticket. As my flight leave at 9:10am as I was planning to fly in the night before.
My question is how early could I bag drop my hold luggage? If I arrive say 11pm the night before could I bag drop then, and spend the night in TPR (and the business lounge as I know TPR closes overnight)
Thanks all

I personally would not overnight in the lounge. They are not designed for that and I wouldn't be able to get a proper nights sleep. Transit hotels in the terminals are good and reasonably priced, especially if you are someone who has the budget to fly Suites.

If we have a flight from SIN to CGK with SQ F and no connecting flight, can we then check in the day before and get access to the Private Room? Or will we be stopped since the flight is actually the next day? I thought of staying in airport hotel and eat in Private Room the evening before. And next morning it will be a short walk to breakfast before the early flight.

Been answered multiple times in this and other threads on the boards, but yes, SQ allows you to check in the night before. You could theoretically check in two nights before (48hr before flight) if you so wanted. But is visiting TPR for dinner really worth the time and cost, and relative discomfort, of spending the night in the airport hotel?
We have an early flight from SIN so I thought it was a better start to walk straight from the airport hotel in T2 in the morning to the flight instead of taking a taxi from downtown hotel.

But for sure you get access the night before, I've personally done exactly what you described
I guess if you are going to have to pay for a night at a hotel anyway then yeah it could make sense to at least get a decent free dinner at TPR the previous night. Have fun!

Can I please just quickly check one scenario:
If I arrive into Sin holding a Maroon F boarding pass and I have a Business Class Silkair boarding pass for the next day, separate ticket but within 24 hours, am I right in thinking I can access the TPR on arrival from my F flight?
This thread seems to suggest I can although I cannot see anywhere online confirming this - if I can access would I be right in thinking this is an unofficial policy (but fairly guaranteed)?
Many thanks in advance.

It was quite comical because we first went to the KrisFlyer gold lounge and they sent us next door to the SilverKris lounge which I though might be a lesser lounge. We were allowed in, then escorted into the first lounge, then into TPR.
Thank you to all who contributed to this thread or I would have never known it was a possibility to get in on arrival.

You may or may not get access 20 hours later before your silkair flight, worth a try.

Hypothetical scenario:
HKG-(F)-SIN-(22h hour layover)-SIN-(Suites)-MEL
Assuming I get the SIN-MEL boarding pass upon check-in in HKG, can I:
- Have lunch in TPR upon arrival in SIN?
- Go in to town, come back in the evening and have dinner at TPR, before checking into the Crowne Plaza airport hotel for the night?
- Have breakfast at TPR before departure in the morning?
I.e. 3 separate visits during the layover, including going in an out of immigration a few times.

The workaround would be to get an airside hotel rather than the Crowne Plaza.

Lounge accesss eligibility is fine. But immigration won't be. It is illegal to enter the departures area of Singapore airport unles you are intending to travel. Your 'dinner' would breach this.

But I really want to ask - why? Lunch before heading into town I can just about understand. Is Singapore so wanting for good food options that one must come back to the airport lounge for dinner? (rhetorical question).
Staying somewhere in town and getting a proper dinner would be far more comfortable and make much more sense. And it won't even cost that much, if you don't want it to.

Thanks for the responses -- sounds like we may have to opt for the airside hotel.
We have lived in Singapore for years and travel there often since relocating elsewhere, so are very familiar with the culinary scene and options -- but we have never dined in the Private Room and want to give it a shot.

You would have just had lunch there - I believe the menu is the same across both meals.
Just know that the airport hotel is pretty basic and not really commensurate with travelling in F/Suites. Make sure you book it in advance, as it is often full. The ones at T3 were the nicest (haven't had to use it for something like 5 years), but other terminals may have been renovated since then.

Agree with stargold... this is not a fine dining restaurant... it's still very much an airport lounge, which happens to have tables where you can sit and eat. There's no special ambience or draw card. Lunch will give you the 'experience'.

So just confirming, TPR can be used upon arrival even when not connecting to another flight the same or next day?
Flying JFK-FRA-SIN in suites which arrives SIN at 7am. Since the hotel room probably won't be ready that early, can we go to TPR on arrival to have breakfast, shower etc?
Assuming the answer is yes, what happens with checked luggage? Would have checked luggage make this a no go?
Anyone done this before? What would they do with the luggage if we don't claim it for an hour or 2 after landing?
Thanks!
