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 facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, family zones, and a wide variety of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, the airport offers an official Free Singapore Tour for transit passengers, typically requiring at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can relax in comfortable seating zones, visit attractions such as indoor gardens, or refresh yourself at airport hotels and rest facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Dhaka (DAC), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to relax in Balaka Executive Lounge or Sky Lounge before their flight, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Lounge entitlement depends on your class of travel from Singapore and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time, which is UTC+6 year-round. Chennai follows India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 year-round. This means Dhaka is always 30 minutes ahead of Chennai, with no daylight saving time changes in either city.

On arrival at Chennai International Airport, you will disembark, clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and proceed through customs. After exiting the arrivals area, you will find signs for taxis, app-based transport, and other ground transport. It is best to check local information in advance for current transport options.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in India. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy or official government website before you travel. Ensure your passport, visa, and any supporting documents are in order well before departure.

For Singapore Airlines flights from Dhaka to Chennai via Singapore, we generally recommend arriving at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities.

If your Dhaka–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai flights are on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we will usually check your bags through to Chennai. You will receive baggage tags showing your final destination. Always confirm the baggage check-through details with our staff when you check in at Dhaka.

For most passengers ticketed on a through journey from Dhaka to Chennai with a same-day connection, you will remain in the transit area at Singapore Changi Airport and do not need to clear immigration. If you choose to enter Singapore or have a long layover, you must meet the entry requirements in place.
