Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Bandar Seri Begawan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable layovers, with indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and entertainment zones spread across the terminals. If your layover is at least 5.5–6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour to see highlights of the city before returning for your onward flight. For shorter connections, you can stay airside to enjoy walking trails, children’s play zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options close to your gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bandar Seri Begawan operates on Brunei Darussalam Time (UTC+8) all year round, with no daylight saving time. Colombo uses Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving. Colombo is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes behind Bandar Seri Begawan throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo when flying from Bandar Seri Begawan via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Bandar Seri Begawan–Singapore and Singapore–Colombo) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Colombo is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Bandar Seri Begawan–Colombo trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
