Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore.

Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility

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 Phnom Penh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may access lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their travel class and status.

If your layover is at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining one of the official transit tours into the city, subject to availability and entry requirements.

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

At Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport, it is generally most comfortable to remain airside during your layover, where you will find cafés, shops, and seating areas close to the departure gates.
