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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of ways to enjoy your layover. With sufficient time, you can join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, which usually require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. These tours provide a snapshot of Singapore’s skyline, waterfront, and key districts.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. You can explore themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and entertainment spaces, or relax at an airport hotel and spa. Numerous dining and shopping options across the terminals make it easy to refresh between flights.

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

During your layover in Singapore, eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines flights may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access policies are determined by the onward flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

If your Colombo to Singapore and Singapore to Hanoi flights are booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Hanoi. You can confirm this at check-in in Colombo, where our team will attach tags showing Hanoi as the final destination and advise whether you need to collect bags in Singapore.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Hanoi follows Indochina Time (UTC+7:00), also without daylight saving. This means Hanoi is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year, regardless of the season.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and the purpose of your visit. We recommend checking with the Vietnamese diplomatic mission or an official government website before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity and any required supporting documents.

When you arrive in Hanoi from Colombo via Singapore, you will follow signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Keep your passport, completed arrival forms, and accommodation details handy. After collecting your checked baggage, you will find transport options such as taxis, buses, and pre-arranged transfers in the arrivals area.

We recommend arriving at Bandaranaike International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore, especially if you need to check baggage or complete travel document checks. This allows enough time for security, immigration, and a relaxed boarding process.

When connecting in Singapore, follow the Transfer signs and check the flight information displays for your Hanoi gate. You usually do not need to clear immigration if your bags are tagged through and you have your boarding pass. Use the layover to stretch, hydrate, and explore the terminal before boarding your next flight.
