Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for its transit experience. For longer layovers, you can consider the official free Jewel or airport discovery options that typically require several hours to enjoy comfortably.
