At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join one of the official free transit tours into the city, typically available if you have at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These guided tours let you see key highlights without managing city logistics yourself.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and in-terminal attractions to explore. You can also use showers, nap zones, or airport hotels if you would like to rest between sectors.

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 usually most convenient to remain airside between your flights. You will find cafés, restaurants, and retail options to help you relax or pick up any travel essentials during your connection.

If you have a longer layover, you may wish to book access to a pay-per-use lounge or consider an airport hotel for extra rest and privacy, rather than travelling into the city. This helps you stay close to your departure gate and simplifies your onward connection.

Through-Check Conditions

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Cape Town–Johannesburg and Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Adelaide) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connections in Johannesburg and Singapore must each be less than 24 hours. If any 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 Adelaide is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

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.
