Yeah approx 25min waiting to check in. Still will have to clear security etc
Traveling on SQ J out of Melbourne I’ve never taken more than 15 mins to checkin, clear security and walk to the lounge. You should get express path printed on your BP (if there is even a queue at that time for security ). But I do tend to avoid the check in open times (because that can see the longest queues).

Also the SQ lounges aren’t that wonderful - 2.5 hrs seems an awful long time even if you do manage to get into to the F lounge, especially IiRC you will be going to the Private Room in SIN - which will be much better.

But we’re all different - do what works for you. :)

That’s great advice! Yes love the private room in SIN. I’ll be leaving around 1.30-1.45AM and not much to do at home if everyone is sleeping, so I might as well do the same thing in a lounge.
