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 a wide range of airside amenities, including themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and diverse dining. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider an official city tour, subject to availability and timing.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.
