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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide range of dining options without leaving the terminal. If your layover is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider the official transit tour programme for a short introduction to the city. For shorter connections, relax at an airport hotel, explore the terminals, or simply enjoy a meal between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

When departing from Cairns Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to use the Escape Lounge before their flight, subject to cabin class, frequent flyer status, and local lounge access conditions. Access is linked to your same-day departing Singapore Airlines flight.

Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Hong Kong observes Hong Kong Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Hong Kong is 2 hours behind Cairns at all times of the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking with the relevant immigration authorities or your local consulate before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity for entry into Hong Kong.

For international flights starting in Cairns and connecting to Hong Kong via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Cairns Airport at least 2 to 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and boarding.

Hong Kong International Airport is well connected to the city by rail, bus, and taxi services. Travel times are generally short, and there are clear signs in English throughout the terminal. For the latest options and journey details, please check with the airport information desks on arrival.

You can use most personal electronic devices on board, following crew instructions. Devices must be in flight mode when required, and larger items should be stowed during take-off and landing. Our crew will advise you when it is safe to use or charge your devices during the flight.
