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.

Singapore Changi Airport is ideal for turning a layover into part of your trip. With a long enough connection, you can join an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These guided tours give you a taste of Singapore before your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Singapore Changi Airport is very comfortable. You can explore indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and themed zones, or simply relax at one of the many dining and shopping outlets. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it’s an integral part of your journey.
