Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to spending a layover in comfort, and you can usually remain airside between flights. With enough time, you can join a free transit tour into the city, which generally requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours.

For shorter connections, you can enjoy themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and airport hotels within or close to the terminals. There are also family zones, entertainment areas, and a wide selection of dining options to help the time pass quickly.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

For most travellers, it is most convenient to stay airside during a layover at Johannesburg O. R. Tambo International Airport, especially on shorter connections. You will find cafés, restaurants, and retail outlets where you can relax between flights.

If you have a longer layover, you can consider booking an airport hotel or lounge access to rest or freshen up without leaving the terminal complex. Always allow generous time for security and boarding when planning any activities.
