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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer connections, you may join an official city transit tour if your layover meets the minimum time requirement. 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, eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership status. Access is determined by the class of travel and frequent flyer status on your onward Singapore Airlines or Star Alliance-operated flight.

At Busan, eligible passengers may use the Air Busan Lounge before departure, depending on their class of travel and frequent flyer status. Access entitlements are based on your Singapore Airlines booking and any applicable KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round. Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Johannesburg is 7 hours behind Busan throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend that you check with the nearest South African diplomatic mission or an official government website, and ensure that your passport and documents meet all current entry requirements before you travel.

We recommend arriving at Busan Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities, especially if you need to check baggage or are travelling during busy periods.

Johannesburg O. R. Tambo International Airport offers several transport options, including trains, shuttle services, and taxis. Travel times vary depending on your final destination and time of day, so it is best to confirm current options and schedules on arrival or through your accommodation.

As with any major city, it is sensible to stay aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, and use reputable transport providers. We also recommend checking any health advisories or vaccination guidance from official sources before departure, and arranging suitable travel insurance for your trip.
