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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to make your layover enjoyable, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and transit hotels where you can shower and sleep. With a longer layover, you can join the official Free Singapore Tour, which generally requires around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights.

For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy playgrounds, butterfly and sunflower gardens, or catch a film at selected terminals. There are also plenty of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it’s an integral part of your journey.

At Colombo (Bandaranaike International Airport), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to relax in partner facilities such as the AASL Lotus Lounge or Araliya Lounge, depending on their class of travel or frequent flyer status.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is based on the details of your onward boarding pass.

Colombo operates on Asia/Colombo time, which is UTC+5:30 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Medan follows Asia/Jakarta time, which is UTC+7:00 and also does not use daylight saving time. Medan is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year.

We recommend arriving at Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to Medan via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.
