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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin class and frequent flyer status.

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 Busan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed to make layovers enjoyable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping options located across its terminals. For shorter connections, you can stay airside, stretch your legs, and explore the terminal facilities at a relaxed pace.

If you have a longer layover, you may be able to join an official city tour programme from the airport, which typically requires several hours of transit time and sufficient buffer before your onward flight. Alternatively, you can book an airport hotel or use rest areas and showers to refresh between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (KST), which is UTC+9 and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Johannesburg is 7 hours behind Busan throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg when flying from Busan 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 (Busan–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg) 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 Johannesburg 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 Busan–Johannesburg 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.
