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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent on a complimentary transit tour of the city, available for passengers with at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter transits, you can enjoy airport attractions such as indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play spaces.

You will also find a wide range of dining outlets, shopping options, and spa or shower facilities across the terminals, helping you refresh between sectors. If you prefer extra privacy, consider booking an airport hotel within the terminal complex. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Bandar Seri Begawan (BWN), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the Sky Lounge before their flight. Lounge access depends on your cabin class, fare type, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and will be confirmed at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport on the way to Male, eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

Bandar Seri Begawan follows Asia/Brunei time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Male follows Indian/Maldives time, which is UTC+5 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Male is therefore 3 hours behind Bandar Seri Begawan throughout the year.

We recommend arriving at Bandar Seri Begawan Airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as you will need to check in for the international sector to Singapore and connect onwards to Male. This allows time for check-in, security clearance, and a relaxed boarding experience.

If your Bandar Seri Begawan–Singapore–Male journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your bags through to Male at Bandar Seri Begawan. Your baggage tags and final routing will be confirmed at check-in, so please check your baggage receipts carefully.

Visa and entry requirements for the Maldives depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend checking the latest information with the Maldivian authorities or your nearest embassy, as well as reviewing transit rules for Singapore, before you travel.

Cabins on both sectors are air-conditioned, so we suggest light, comfortable clothing with an extra layer such as a cardigan or light jacket. If you are heading directly to your resort on arrival, shoes that are easy to remove and breathable fabrics will help you adjust quickly to the tropical climate.
