I will have an overnight transit at SIN airport early June. I arrive at 23:45 and depart ~8:00am the next day. I do not really want to get a hotel in town as it does not leave a lot of hours for sleep. The transit hotel may not be an option as I could possibly have a checked bag, golf clubs and a carry on bag.
From CX website their check-in does not open until 5:00am which is too many hours to pass in the check-in area. I guess I could store the luggage, go out to Geylang for a couple of hours for a bite to eat and some Carlsberg and come back to check-in later in the morning.
The routing is TPE-HKG-SIN-HKG-BKK (with overnight in SIN) and there is a possibility I could clear immigration at HKG arriving from TPE and leave the bags in storage there and collect them the next day arriving in HKG from SIN and checking them through to BKK.
Another remote possibility is to be able to check the bags TPE-HKG-BKK but unfortunately TPE-HKG-SIN and SIN-HKG-BKK are on different PNRs and not sure the check-in staff would be able to this type of through check-in for luggage.
If I can somehow stay in transit in SIN then I could use the transfer desks to collect boarding passes and spend the night in the Slyview Lounge and have a shower in the morning.
The actual routing is SQ award Friday night BNE-SIN then Saturday morning SIN-TPE. Saturday afternoon is TPE-HKG-SIN on CX with overnight transit in SIN but a couple of hours transit in HKG if wanting to leave bags in HKG. Then Sunday morning it is SIN-HKG-NKK on CX with enough time in HKG if wanting to collect bags and check them through to BKK,
What would be the best option? Any thoughts?
