Getting to SIN for a 6am flight
Hello, we need to catch the 6am SIN-NRT NW flight on a Sunday in January.
Other than a taxi, are there any cheaper options to get to the airport around 4am? Or is taking the last MRT on saturday night the only viable option?
From reading other threads it seems like going through customs is not an option unless we have a boarding pass. How late on the previous night is NW check-in counter open? Will they allow me to check-in for the next day's flight?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

There's no outgoing "customs" but there is passport control (or immigration though you are leaving the country).
You can use web checkin and get your BP. AFAIK, you don't need to go to the checkin desk if you have this printed BP and have no bags to check.

You know taxis are cheap in Singapore, right? Even with the midnight 50% surcharge it'll be under S$25 to the airport from downtown. You can't check in the previous night since the NW checkin counter staff aren't around. They turn up at 3.30am
