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, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping during your layover. With a longer transit time, you may join an official free city tour programme, which typically requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours.

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