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 an extensive range of airside facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and children’s play zones. For longer connections, the airport’s official transit tours into the city are available for passengers with sufficient connection time, typically from about 5.5 to 6 hours.

Shorter layovers can be comfortably spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in a lounge, or making use of showers and snooze areas.

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

At Johannesburg (JNB), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use South African Airways The Lounge (Premium) before departure. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status, and your boarding pass will indicate if you are eligible.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class) or SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), depending on cabin and status. KrisFlyer Elite Gold members travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class may be able to use the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

Johannesburg operates on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Nagoya follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9), also without daylight saving. Nagoya is therefore 7 hours ahead of Johannesburg at all times of the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Japanese embassy or consulate and ensuring your passport and documents meet all requirements before you travel.

For international flights from Johannesburg to Nagoya via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and any additional formalities, especially during busy travel periods.

If both sectors of your journey are on one Singapore Airlines booking, your checked baggage is usually tagged through to Nagoya and you receive all boarding passes at Johannesburg. At Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transfer signs, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to enjoy the airport facilities between flights.

From Nagoya’s main airport, you can reach the city by rail, bus, or taxi. Trains connect the airport with central Nagoya Station, where you can transfer to the subway or local lines. For the latest information on routes and journey times, check airport or local transport websites before you arrive.
