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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can make the most of extensive amenities including themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly attractions within the terminals. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city when available, usually requiring at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter connections are best spent enjoying the airport facilities, such as quiet zones, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their departure terminal and eligibility. Access is determined by your onward flight from Singapore and your membership status.

At Darwin Airport, our listed facility for Singapore Airlines passengers on this route is currently shown as Lounge Temporarily Unavailable. We recommend checking your booking closer to departure for any updates on lounge options or alternative arrangements that may apply at the time of your trip.

Darwin operates on Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) and does not observe daylight saving. Surabaya follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Surabaya is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Darwin throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check the latest entry regulations with the Indonesian authorities or your nearest consulate before your trip, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity beyond your planned departure date.

For international flights from Darwin to Surabaya via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and any departure formalities, especially during busy travel periods.
