Arrival Lounge / Immigration Question
I'm due to arrive at SIN at 22:00 on a Thursday night, then have a Suites redemption ticket booked for a Saturday flight (i.e. Private Room access is available upon arrival)
Is it possible to spend Thursday in the PR & FCL and then exit through immigration on Friday in order to go to the city and check into a hotel before coming back on Saturday?
Not keen on staying in a dingy hotel on Thursday night, nor am I keen on spending $300-400 on a good hotel if only for a few hours sleep.
Thanks

What is your arriving flight and cabin of travel? Suites/ First in SQ as well? If not Suites/ F on SQ then no arrival lounge at all as your onward flight is only on Sat and it would not be normal to admit you 2 days in advance of your Suites outbound flight
If you are coming in on SQ Suites / First then you can use TPR / F lounge as arrivals lounge and do as you plan, else I'd say not likely.
Btw, kind of funny that someone with FT handle "Lounge Expert" asks a lounge question

Haha...a silly name set up many air miles ago when I used to lounge-hop around the place as a silly university student.
Only arriving in SQ business (not First), so won't have that automatic arrival access to PR as you mentioned.
Maybe a naïve assumption on my side, but if an airline is allowing customers check-in 48hours in advance, then surely you are entitled to use whatever benefits comes with your travel class (airport access, fast track, lounges etc.)

Your flight departs on the same day of your visit or latest by 05:00 AM the next morning.

If you'd arrive Fri night and have a flight Sat morning, I have seen SQ accommodating lounge access to F/ TPR the night before, but 2 days in advance not going to happen.
