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.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is long enough, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter connections, the airport offers gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping options airside.

You can also relax in lounges, visit viewing galleries, or freshen up with shower facilities available in selected areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Manchester Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use partner lounges before departure, based on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Additional pay-per-use lounges are also available for purchase, subject to capacity and opening hours set by the lounge operators.

On a through-ticketed Singapore Airlines itinerary from Manchester to San Francisco via Singapore, we usually check your baggage through to San Francisco at Manchester Airport. You typically do not need to collect your bags in Singapore during the layover, unless advised otherwise by our staff or local authorities.

Manchester follows Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October.

This means the time difference ranges between 7 and 8 hours, with Manchester ahead.
