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, longer layovers can be spent joining the official complimentary transit tours into the city, which typically require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time. Shorter layovers are comfortable airside, where you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and entertainment zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Dhaka (DAC), eligible passengers may relax before departure in the Balaka Executive Lounge or the Sky Lounge. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible customers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

For most Singapore Airlines itineraries from Dhaka to Johannesburg on a single ticket, we check your baggage through from Dhaka to Johannesburg, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You should confirm this at check-in in Dhaka, where our team will advise based on your specific booking.

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2), also without daylight saving. Johannesburg is therefore 4 hours behind Dhaka throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Dhaka, it is 8.00am in Johannesburg.

You should ensure that your passport has sufficient validity and that you hold any required visas or travel authorisations for South Africa and for transiting through Singapore. Requirements can change, so we recommend checking with the relevant embassies or authorities and reviewing our travel advisory before you fly.

We recommend arriving at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities before you board your Singapore Airlines flight to Singapore and connect onwards to Johannesburg.

From O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, you can choose between rail links, shuttle services, and taxis to reach the city. Journey times vary depending on your final destination. We suggest checking current transport options and travel times in advance, and confirming details with official information desks on arrival.

As with any large city, it is sensible to stay aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, and use reputable transport providers in Johannesburg. We also recommend checking any health advisories and travel guidance before departure, and following local advice once you arrive.
