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 have many ways to relax between your flights. For longer connections, you can consider joining the official transit tours into the city, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. These tours offer a curated introduction to Singapore without the need to clear immigration independently.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. Changi Airport features themed gardens, quiet rest areas, family zones, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options. Some terminals also offer facilities such as cinemas and pool access at on-airport hotels. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Istanbul Airport on your Singapore Airlines flight to Dhaka via Singapore, eligible customers may access partner lounges located in the terminal, subject to their cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight from Istanbul and the programme rules that apply to your ticket.

If your layover in Singapore is sufficiently long, you may be able to leave the airport to explore the city, subject to immigration requirements and any visa conditions that apply to your nationality. We recommend allowing generous time for arrival formalities, transport, and security checks on your return to Singapore Changi Airport.

Istanbul operates on Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round without daylight saving. Dhaka operates on Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This means Dhaka is 3 hours ahead of Istanbul throughout the year; when it is 12.00pm in Istanbul, it is 15.00 in Dhaka.

Singapore Airlines flights from Istanbul to Dhaka via Singapore currently operate from the main international terminal at Istanbul Airport. We recommend checking your booking or the airport departure screens on the day of travel, as terminal and gate assignments may change.

We recommend arriving at Istanbul Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your departure gate, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa requirements for transit in Singapore depend on your nationality and whether you plan to clear immigration. Many travellers can transit airside without a visa. We advise checking the latest entry and transit regulations with the relevant authorities or your local Singapore mission before departure.

On arrival at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, you will proceed through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs before exiting into the public arrivals hall. Airport facilities include basic shopping and dining, and you will find counters for transport options just outside the terminal. Please check locally for the latest information on ground transport and payment methods.
