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 award-winning airside facilities including themed gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer connections, you may join an official city tour if your schedule meets the minimum layover time. Shorter stays are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in quiet zones, or freshening up at airport facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Access is determined by your departing flight from Istanbul and your membership tier, and you may also consider pay-per-use lounges available in the terminal.

For most itineraries ticketed on a single Singapore Airlines booking from Istanbul to Bandar Seri Begawan, we check your bags through to your final destination, so you do not need to collect them in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm this at check-in.

Istanbul operates on Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round. Bandar Seri Begawan follows Brunei Time (UTC+8) without daylight saving. This means Bandar Seri Begawan is 5 hours ahead of Istanbul throughout the year.
