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.

When departing from Johannesburg on this route, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the South African Airways The Lounge (Premium) at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport.

Most transfers are within the secure transit area, so you usually do not need to clear immigration. Our ground staff are available to assist if you have questions about your connection.

Health and vaccination requirements may apply when travelling from Johannesburg to Auckland, and they can change over time.
