Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Johannesburg.

At Johannesburg (JNB), we recommend staying airside during your layover for the most convenient connection. You can make use of terminal seating areas, restaurants, and retail outlets to refresh between flights, and consider booking access to a pay-per-use lounge if you would like a quieter space or shower facilities. Airport hotels and transit-friendly meeting points are also available if you have a longer wait before your onward flight. Your time at Johannesburg (JNB) is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to explore the airport’s gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones, or to join one of the official transit tours into the city if your connection time meets the minimum requirements. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside, enjoy curated dining options, and relax in quiet zones between flights. Shower facilities, nap areas, and transit hotels are also available if you want extra rest before continuing to Brisbane. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Cape Town is in the Africa/Johannesburg time zone, which is UTC+2 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Brisbane is in the Australia/Brisbane time zone, which is typically UTC+10 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Brisbane is usually 8 hours ahead of Cape Town throughout the year.

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 (Cape Town–Johannesburg and Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Brisbane) 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 any onward flight from Johannesburg or Singapore to Brisbane 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.
