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 gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city if your connection time meets the minimum requirement.

For shorter stops, you can relax in quiet zones, freshen up in restrooms and shower facilities, or enjoy airport attractions such as indoor gardens and art installations. If eligible, you can also unwind in one of the Singapore Airlines lounges for added comfort. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Melbourne on this route, eligible passengers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class) or SilverKris Lounge (Business Class) at Melbourne Airport, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access is determined by the airline, your class of travel, and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover in Singapore, eligible passengers travelling to Phuket may have access to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your onward flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

Melbourne follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) in roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) in roughly early October to early April. Phuket follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) year round. This means Phuket is 3 hours behind Melbourne during AEST, and 4 hours behind during AEDT.

When you fly from Melbourne to Phuket with Singapore Airlines, you will arrive at Phuket International Airport, located in the island's north, after your connecting flight from Singapore Changi Airport.

If your Melbourne to Phuket journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your bags through to Phuket, and you will not need to collect them in Singapore. You should still confirm the baggage tag details at check-in in Melbourne.

For international flights from Melbourne to Phuket via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Melbourne Airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and any outbound border checks before you head to the gate.
