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 can enjoy lush indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer transits, you may have time to join an official city tour that usually requires at least a 5.5- to 6-hour layover, subject to eligibility and schedules. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport’s attractions, visiting a lounge, or freshening up at transit hotels and shower facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the Air China Lounge. If you depart from Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) on selected services, eligible customers may be directed to the BCS Lounge. Lounge access depends on your cabin and frequent flyer status.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on the class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Staff at check-in and transfer desks will guide you to the appropriate lounge.

On the Singapore–New York sector of this itinerary, Singapore Airlines operates to New York from Singapore using the Airbus A350-900. Your exact arrival airport in the New York area is stated on your booking and e-ticket, so please review your itinerary carefully before planning onward travel.

For flights from Beijing to New York via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, baggage drop, security checks, and any immigration procedures before you board your flight to Singapore.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip, and the length of your stay in New York, as well as any plans to enter Singapore during your layover. We advise checking the latest entry requirements with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel.
