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, play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping. For longer layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and timing. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), eligible customers may use the Le Saigonnais Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible Suites and First Class passengers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), eligible Business Class passengers can use the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), while eligible KrisFlyer Elite Gold members travelling in Economy Class may access the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Lounge access always depends on your cabin, frequent flyer status, and onward flight.

If your Ho Chi Minh City to Colombo journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines ticket, we will normally check your baggage through to Colombo at Ho Chi Minh City, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You should confirm through-check details at check-in, especially if you have separate tickets or partner airline connections.

Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving time. Colombo is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes behind Ho Chi Minh City throughout the year.

You should ensure that your passport has sufficient validity and that you hold any required visa or travel authorisation for Sri Lanka, as well as for transit through Singapore. Entry and visa requirements vary by nationality, so we recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel.

We recommend arriving at Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security and immigration procedures, and a relaxed walk to your boarding gate.

From Bandaranaike International Airport, you can reach central Colombo by airport taxi, private car services, hotel transfers, or public transport. Journey times can vary depending on traffic and your exact destination. It is advisable to confirm current transport options and travel times upon arrival at the airport information counters.

Health and vaccination requirements depend on your nationality, recent travel history, and local regulations in Sri Lanka. We recommend checking the latest guidance from official health authorities and consulting your doctor or a travel clinic well before departure for personalised advice.
