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 choose from indoor gardens, themed rest areas, play zones, and quiet spaces to unwind between flights. For longer stays of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, where you will find walking trails, art installations, and a broad range of dining and shopping options. Airport hotels and rest areas offer additional comfort if you would like to sleep or freshen up. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover in Singapore, eligible passengers travelling on Singapore Airlines may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class, KrisFlyer membership tier, and Star Alliance status. Lounge entitlements are based on your departing flight and shown on your boarding pass.

When you travel on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Riyadh to Medan via Singapore, our team will normally check your baggage through to Medan. You can confirm through-check at check-in in Riyadh and simply follow the transfer signs at Singapore Changi Airport without collecting your checked baggage.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Medan operates on Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Medan is 4 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Riyadh, it is 16.00 in Medan.

Visa requirements for travel from Riyadh to Medan depend on your nationality and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest entry rules with the Indonesian authorities or your nearest embassy before you book, and again shortly before you travel, as regulations can change.

Flights from Riyadh to Medan via Singapore with Singapore Airlines arrive at Medan’s main international airport serving the city and surrounding North Sumatra region. From there, you can continue your journey by domestic flight or ground transport arranged with local providers.

For flights from Riyadh to Medan via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport in Riyadh at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and any exit formalities before you proceed to your gate.

At Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transfer signs after disembarking from your Riyadh flight. In most cases, you will not need to clear immigration and your checked baggage will be transferred automatically. Check the monitors for your Medan departure gate, and allow time for security screening at the gate if required.

Whether you can leave Singapore Changi Airport during your layover depends on your nationality, visa eligibility, and the length of your connection. If you have sufficient time and the right to enter Singapore, you may explore the city independently or join an official transit tour. Always allow ample time to return, clear formalities, and reach your gate.
