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. Eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Medan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make layovers comfortable and enjoyable, from themed gardens and quiet rest areas to play zones and airport hotels. For shorter layovers, you can remain airside, relax in seating areas, enjoy a meal, or explore terminals connected by the Skytrain. With a longer layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider official transit tours that introduce you to highlights of Singapore without needing to arrange your own city transfer. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it s an integral part of your journey.

Medan follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round, also without daylight saving time. Tokyo is therefore 2 hours ahead of Medan at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tokyo when flying from Medan via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Tokyo) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Tokyo is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Medan–Tokyo trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
