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 travellers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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 New York but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a broad range of ways to spend your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and transit hotels. With a longer layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and schedule. For shorter connections, you can stay airside, enjoying amenities such as walking trails, play areas, and relaxation zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

New York follows Eastern Time, which is typically UTC−5 during standard time (roughly November to March) and UTC−4 during daylight saving time (roughly March to November). Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time all year, at UTC+10. This means Brisbane is usually 15 hours ahead of New York in winter and 14 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Brisbane Airport when flying from New York 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 (New York–Singapore and Singapore–Brisbane) 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 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.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your New York–Brisbane 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.
