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 enjoy extensive airside amenities, including indoor gardens, relaxation zones, children’s play areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city if your schedule allows. Shorter connections are best spent exploring the terminals and unwinding before your onward flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Brisbane Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge before boarding. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers can access lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your departing flight from each airport.

When you travel on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Brisbane to Colombo via Singapore, we normally check your checked baggage through to Colombo. You will collect it only at your final destination, unless local regulations or your itinerary require otherwise. Your baggage receipt at Brisbane will confirm the tagged destination.

Brisbane operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10, and does not currently observe daylight saving. Colombo uses Sri Lanka Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30. This means Colombo is 4 hours 30 minutes behind Brisbane throughout the year.

Visa and entry requirements for Sri Lanka depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the Sri Lankan authorities or your nearest consulate, and reviewing official government travel advice, before you book and again before you fly.

For international flights from Brisbane to Colombo via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Brisbane Airport at least 3 hours before departure. This gives you time for check-in, security, and border formalities, and to relax or visit the lounge before boarding.

On arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport near Colombo, you will proceed through immigration, baggage claim, and customs. Transport options into the city include taxis, pre-booked transfers, and public services. Journey times can vary, so we suggest confirming current options and travel times when you arrive.

Yes, eligible fare types on Singapore Airlines flights from Brisbane to Colombo via Singapore earn KrisFlyer miles. The number of miles depends on your booking class and cabin. Ensure your KrisFlyer number is added to your booking before you fly so we can credit the miles to your account.
