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 extensive amenities including themed gardens, rest areas, entertainment zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options, making shorter layovers comfortable and engaging. For longer connections of around 5.5 hours or more, you may have the option to join a transit city tour operated by the airport, subject to eligibility and schedules. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Depending on your class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, you may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport. Lounge eligibility is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your frequent flyer status.

If your Cebu to Colombo journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Colombo, and it will be transferred automatically at Singapore. You can confirm this at check-in in Cebu, where our staff will advise you if you need to collect bags during the layover.

Cebu follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 all year, with no daylight saving time. Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 all year. This means Colombo is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Cebu throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Sri Lankan authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate, and ensuring your passport and documents meet all requirements before you travel.

On arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport, you can choose from options such as airport taxis, private transfers, hotel-arranged pick-ups, and public transport. Travel times can vary with traffic, so allow extra time. Check locally at the airport information counters for current transport choices and guidance.

We recommend checking any health advisories for Sri Lanka before departure and considering travel insurance that covers medical care. In Colombo, drink safe water, protect yourself from the sun, and follow local guidance. Keep your valuables secure and be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas, as you would in any major city.

The main languages spoken in Colombo are Sinhala and Tamil, but English is widely used in hotels, major shops, and many restaurants. You should find it straightforward to communicate basic needs in English, and staff in tourist-facing services are generally comfortable assisting international visitors.
