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

If your layover is at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and a wide selection of dining options without leaving the terminals. With a longer connection of at least around 5.5–6 hours, you may also consider joining an official transit tour, subject to operating hours and eligibility. For shorter layovers, relaxing in quiet zones, exploring the indoor greenery, or refreshing with a shower are all easy options within the airport. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

San Francisco follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter (approximately November to March) and UTC−7 in summer (approximately March to November). Delhi follows India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 year-round. This means Delhi is 13.5 hours ahead of San Francisco in winter, and 12.5 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi when flying from San Francisco 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 (San Francisco–Singapore and Singapore–Delhi) 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 Delhi 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 San Francisco–Delhi 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.
