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. Eligible passengers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Medan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed to make layovers pleasant, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining a free transit tour to see highlights of Singapore, subject to programme availability and entry requirements. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy indoor gardens, relaxation corners, and entertainment zones within the transit area. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Medan follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone, which is UTC+7 year-round without daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City also operates on UTC+7 throughout the year. This means there is no time difference between Medan and Ho Chi Minh City at any time of year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport when flying from Medan via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

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 (Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your 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 Ho Chi Minh City is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Medan–Ho Chi Minh City trip, 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.
