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 at Singapore Changi Airport, where eligible customers may use lounges such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status
PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule
Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Zurich but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and children’s play zones, so it is easy to stay comfortable during your layover. For shorter connections, you can explore the terminals, enjoy a meal, or relax in quiet zones and snooze areas. With a longer layover, you may have time to join one of the official transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and minimum connection time requirements. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time as Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Melbourne uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and switches to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from roughly early October to early April. During Zurich’s standard time and Melbourne’s daylight time, Melbourne is typically 10 hours ahead; during Zurich’s daylight time and Melbourne’s standard time, the difference is usually 8 hours; for shorter overlapping periods, the offset can be 9 hours due to different clock-change dates.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Melbourne Airport when flying from Zurich via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary
Both flight segments (Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Melbourne) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration
Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines
If your onward flight from Singapore to Melbourne is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Zurich–Melbourne trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
