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.

For a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official free transit tour into the city if your connection meets the minimum time requirement, which is typically around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore the airport's themed gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and entertainment zones across the terminals. Families can make use of play areas, while travellers looking to relax can find quiet corners or book an airport hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Copenhagen Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the SAS Scandinavian Lounge before departure, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access generally includes comfortable seating, light refreshments, and workspaces to help you relax or prepare before your long journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Exact eligibility and lounge assignment will be confirmed at check-in or at the lounge reception.

Copenhagen is in the Europe/Copenhagen time zone, using Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter, typically late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer, usually late March to late October. Johannesburg is in the Africa/Johannesburg time zone and stays on UTC+2 all year. This means Johannesburg is 1 hour ahead of Copenhagen in winter and on the same time as Copenhagen in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. We recommend that you check with the relevant South African authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate, and review your passport validity and entry rules well before your departure date.

For flights from Copenhagen to Johannesburg via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Copenhagen Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you enough time for check-in, security screening, and to reach your boarding gate comfortably.

From O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, you can choose between rail links, shuttle services, hotel transfers, and metered taxis to reach the city. Travel times vary depending on traffic and your final destination, so it is best to check local information and follow airport signage on arrival.

Johannesburg has a sunny, high-altitude climate, so pack light layers, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and a warmer jacket for cooler evenings, especially in winter. For your flights, consider a travel pillow, eye mask, and any personal items you need to rest comfortably on the long journey.

The journey from Copenhagen to Johannesburg is long-haul with a connection in Singapore, so it is helpful to stay hydrated, stretch regularly in the cabin, and follow any health advice from your doctor. You may also wish to check recommended health guidelines for South Africa before you travel.
