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 exploring themed gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas, or joining an official transit tour into the city when your connection time allows. Shorter layovers are comfortable too, with showers, nap zones, family facilities, and a wide choice of dining and retail at each terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In London Heathrow, eligible passengers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class) or SilverKris Lounge (Business Class) before departure. In London Gatwick, eligible customers can use the No 1 Lounge. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, qualifying passengers may enjoy The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and frequent flyer status.

London operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) roughly from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year. This means Busan is 9 hours ahead of London in winter and 8 hours ahead during British summer time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, travel purpose, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant embassy or official government website before you book, and again shortly before you travel.

Flights from London to Busan operate from London Heathrow or London Gatwick, connecting through Singapore Changi Airport. Your final arrival airport is in Busan, serving the city and wider region along South Korea’s southeast coast.

For long-haul journeys such as London to Busan via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the London airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your boarding gate comfortably.

We advise checking any health advisories and recommended vaccinations for travel to South Korea before your trip. Carry essential medication in your cabin baggage, keep copies of prescriptions, and ensure your travel insurance covers medical care in your destination.

On arrival in Busan, you can choose from public transport options such as metro lines and buses, as well as taxis or private transfers. Journey times vary by exact destination, so please check local transport information and signage in the arrivals area.

Pack according to the season, with layers for spring and autumn, light breathable clothing for summer, and a warm coat for winter. Comfortable walking shoes are useful for exploring hills and coastal paths, and a compact umbrella or light rain jacket can be helpful year-round.

In Busan, you will find English signage on major public transport, at airports, and in many tourist areas. Staff in hotels and larger shops often speak some English, and translation apps can help when exploring local markets or smaller neighbourhoods.
