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.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their final sector and eligibility. Access is subject to lounge entry conditions on the day of travel.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy a wide range of airside attractions, including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play zones. For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may also consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to programme availability.

If you prefer to stay in the terminal, you will find showers, nap zones, swimming pools, cinemas, and a wide selection of dining and shopping outlets spread across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

At Los Angeles International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing for Singapore and onwards to Phuket may use the Star Alliance Lounge, subject to cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your upcoming departure flight and the conditions in place on the day.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 during daylight saving time (roughly March to early November). Phuket follows Indochina Time, which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving. This means Phuket is 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter, and 14 hours ahead during Los Angeles daylight saving time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or consulate, or your local authorities, before you travel to ensure you have the correct documents for entry into Thailand and any transit requirements for Singapore.

For flights from Los Angeles to Phuket via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Los Angeles International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching the departure gate comfortably.

Phuket has a warm, tropical climate year-round, so light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes are useful. A light layer is helpful for air-conditioned spaces and the aircraft cabin. Always check baggage rules on your e-ticket before packing your checked baggage and cabin baggage.

On arrival at Phuket International Airport, you will find various transport options such as airport buses, shared shuttles, hotel transfers, and taxis. Travel times vary depending on where you are staying on the island, so it is best to confirm arrangements with your hotel or a trusted local provider in advance.
