Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Africa.

Most journeys from Copenhagen to South Africa connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, showers, shopping, and a wide choice of dining. With a longer connection, you may be able to join Changi's free transit tour, subject to timing and eligibility, to experience highlights of the city between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg and Cape Town both operate on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and do not observe daylight saving time. Copenhagen is on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Copenhagen is usually 1 hour behind Johannesburg and Cape Town in winter, and at the same time as these cities during Denmark's summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in South Africa when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to South Africa, 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.
