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.

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 Bandar Seri Begawan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the airport’s free city tour programmes, which typically require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These guided tours let you see highlights of Singapore without managing logistics on your own.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is comfortable and convenient. You can explore themed gardens, relaxation zones, quiet areas, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options, all within easy walking distance of your gate.

If you prefer to rest, airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges offer spaces to shower, sleep, or work between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bandar Seri Begawan follows Asia/Brunei time, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester follows Europe/London time, which is UTC+0 from late October to late March and UTC+1 from late March to late October. This means Bandar Seri Begawan is typically 8 hours ahead of Manchester in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manchester Airport when flying from Bandar Seri Begawan 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 (Bandar Seri Begawan–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester) 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 Manchester 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 Bandar Seri Begawan–Manchester 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.
