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 in Singapore is long enough, you can join the official transit tours that take you into the city, which usually require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter transits, stay airside to enjoy gardens, rest areas, family zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping at Singapore Changi Airport. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Los Angeles (LAX), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the Star Alliance Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

When you travel from Los Angeles to Kochi on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we usually check your baggage through to Kochi at Los Angeles. You can remain in transit at Singapore Changi Airport without collecting your bags, and you only retrieve them on arrival in Kochi, unless advised otherwise at check-in.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time (UTC-8, switching to UTC-7 from roughly March to early November). Kochi follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Kochi is 13.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles during Pacific Standard Time and 12.5 hours ahead during Pacific Daylight Time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, passport type, and length of stay. We recommend that you check the latest entry rules with the relevant Indian authorities or your local consulate before you travel, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity and blank pages.

Follow the transfer signs when you land, check your onward boarding gate on the screens, and allow time to enjoy dining, shopping, or rest areas between flights. Airport staff can assist if you have any questions.
