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 Melbourne but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers can enjoy The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make both short and longer layovers comfortable. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining an official transit tour of the city, subject to the airport’s current programme and entry guidelines. For shorter layovers, you can relax in themed gardens, rest areas, or quiet zones, and enjoy options such as swimming pools or cinemas in certain terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Melbourne operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from around April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Phnom Penh remains on Indochina Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Phnom Penh is 3 hours behind Melbourne during AEST, and 4 hours behind during AEDT.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Phnom Penh International Airport when flying from Melbourne 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 (Melbourne–Singapore and Singapore–Phnom Penh) 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 Phnom Penh 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 Melbourne–Phnom Penh 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.
