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.

For longer layovers at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join an official transit tour into the city if your connection typically allows at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter stops, stay airside and enjoy highlights such as indoor gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Taipei (TPE), eligible customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible travellers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and frequent flyer status, before continuing to Johannesburg.

For a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Taipei to Johannesburg, we normally check your baggage through to your final destination. You can remain in the transit area at Singapore Changi Airport and do not need to collect your checked baggage during the layover.

Taipei follows Taiwan Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) throughout the year, also without daylight saving. This means Johannesburg is 6 hours behind Taipei year-round.

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check with the relevant authorities or your nearest consulate before departure to ensure your passport, visa, and other documents meet current requirements.

We recommend arriving at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as you will be checking in for an international flight and connecting in Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities.

On arrival at Johannesburg, you can choose from several transport options, including rail links, shuttle services, and taxis available at the airport. Please check locally or with your accommodation for the most suitable and up-to-date options for your journey.

Johannesburg is a major hub for domestic and regional flights, as well as road and rail connections. From here, you can continue to other South African cities and popular leisure regions. Check with your travel provider for the most convenient onward options.
