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 pleasant, from indoor gardens and relaxation areas to family zones and quiet corners to rest. If your layover is long enough, you can also consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which has a minimum connection time requirement.

For shorter stays, you may prefer to remain airside, enjoying the airport’s range of dining choices, retail outlets, and rest zones, or simply taking time to freshen up between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it’s an integral part of your journey.

At Kansai International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access designated departure lounges before their flight to Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, and our ground staff will guide you to the correct facility after check-in.

On a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Osaka to San Francisco, we normally check your baggage through from Kansai International Airport to San Francisco International Airport. At Singapore, you can follow the transfer signs directly to your next gate without collecting your checked baggage, unless advised otherwise by our staff.

Osaka follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. San Francisco follows Pacific Time: Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) from roughly November to March, and Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) from roughly March to November. This means San Francisco is typically 17 or 16 hours behind Osaka, depending on the month.

For this route, our flights depart from Kansai International Airport, located on an artificial island south-west of central Osaka. From there you will fly to Singapore, then connect to your onward Singapore Airlines service to San Francisco.

You will arrive at San Francisco International Airport, the main international gateway for the Bay Area. From there, you can continue your journey into the city or connect to domestic flights operated by other carriers.

We recommend arriving at Kansai International Airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, and to enjoy the facilities or relax before boarding.

Transit visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel documents. Many passengers can transit through Singapore Changi Airport without a visa if they remain airside, but we recommend checking the latest entry and transit rules with the relevant authorities or your local embassy before you travel.
