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.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is long enough, you can join the airport’s official transit tour programme, which typically requires a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This offers a relaxed introduction to the city before you continue to New York.

For shorter layovers, you may prefer to stay airside and explore the airport’s gardens, quiet rest zones, and themed areas, or enjoy a meal and a shower before your next sector. Depending on your eligibility, you can also make use of lounge facilities for additional comfort. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use partner lounge facilities such as the Plaza Premium Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight from Rome and your booking details.

You can usually leave Singapore Changi Airport during a layover if you meet local entry requirements and have sufficient time between flights. We recommend allowing generous time for immigration, transport, and security on your return. Always check visa rules and your remaining connection time before deciding.
