My Quickest Turnaround Itenary Yet: Some Queries
For the very first time, I'm going to use SIN as a transit point. I am scheduled to travel to New York for a briefing, flying out on Business Class on a Monday noon (SQ22), and returning to Singapore early Thursday morning (SQ21). I have a connecting flight in TG402 (different itenary, Business Class).
Barring any flight delays, 2.5 hours between touchdown at T2 and departure in T1 seems a lot of time. I know I can shuttle between T1 and T2 airside. Now, my queries:
1. If I do not want to bring my suitcase onboard, is there any way I can leave it with the ground handlers? I do not want to cross immigration in SIN.
2. I will be able to access the SATS Premier Lounge and Thai Royal Silk Lounge in T1. Are there any other options for me?
3. If I visit the Silver Kris Lounge (Raffles Side) in T2, will there be any ironing facility for my use? I will be going on stage at 1:30pm, with no accomodation booked. Thus I will need to dress up before I leave Changi.
Any responses will be much appreciated!

1. Just through check your bags (or alternatively travel with carry on only). To through check you'll need to show check in (in EWR) your onward ticket. Otherwise if you don't through check and have checked bags you will need to clear immigration to get your bags.
2. Nope.
3. Not sure.

You will not have access to SATS Premier Lounge in T1 as that is not a *G lounge, and TG does not use that as a contract lounge since they have their own lounge.

By the way, sadly, due to some miscommunication, I will be travelling in Executive Economy on SQ22/SQ21. No more Business for me.

SATS Premier Lounge at T1 is a contract lounge. F passengers, J passengers and Elite members on carriers in T1 that appoints SATS as the ground agent, whom do not have a lounge of their own, gets to use that lounge.
