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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Los Angeles but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. At Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be invited to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable layovers, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and attractions that make transit time pass quickly. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy facilities such as indoor gardens, walking trails, relaxation zones, and a wide choice of dining outlets spread across the terminals. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you would like privacy and rest between sectors.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter (approximately November to March) and UTC−7 during daylight saving time in summer (approximately March to November). Busan follows Korea Standard Time, which is UTC+9 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Busan is typically 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter and 16 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Gimhae International Airport in Busan when flying from Los Angeles via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Los Angeles–Singapore and Singapore–Busan) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Busan is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Los Angeles–Busan trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
