As a pax that travels a lot on SQ I would have to agree with previous posts that SQ doesn't get preferential treatment in Singapore. I have had plenty of arrivals onto 02L ? then backtrack past terminal 1 and 3, then over the overpass and down to an F gate or even one of the middle E gates. I have even done one of ftrplt's orbits in an SQ 777 between Batam and Singapore (quite a spectacular view of those Indonesian islands at low level). On a recent evening departure to BNE what did we have to give way to, QF52 (recognised as a QF 743) which is due in BNE at about same time. That really stings when you get to BNE as SQ are always allocated a far gate for the arriving am flight. You can arrive before QF or JL but still be later to immigration.
