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 extensive airside facilities, including themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide range of shopping and dining. For longer layovers, you may join a free transit tour into the city if your schedule meets the minimum connection time and programme requirements. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, enjoying quiet zones, or relaxing in an airport hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your transit at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may have access to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer tier, or Star Alliance status, and is determined by your onward boarding pass.
