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.

For a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official free transit tour if your connection meets the minimum required time, or simply relax in the terminals, which feature gardens, rest zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping. Shorter layovers are comfortable spent airside, where you will find quiet seating, playgrounds, and airport hotels with day-use rooms. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

In London, Singapore Airlines operates from London Heathrow and London Gatwick. At London Heathrow, eligible customers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class) and SilverKris Lounge (Business Class) before their flight to Singapore. At London Gatwick, eligible customers may be able to use the No 1 Lounge, depending on their ticket type and membership status.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is determined by your onward boarding pass from Singapore.

London follows 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. Kolkata observes India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Kolkata is 5.5 hours ahead of London during GMT, and 4.5 hours ahead during BST.

Flights from London to Kolkata with Singapore Airlines arrive at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, the main airport serving the city and surrounding region.

We recommend arriving at the airport in London at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time to complete check-in, baggage drop, and security checks comfortably, especially for long-haul journeys with a connection.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of visit, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant authorities or your nearest consulate before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity.

On arrival in Kolkata, you will clear immigration and collect your checked baggage before exiting the terminal. It is helpful to have your accommodation details and onward travel plans ready, and to check current information locally for transport options from the airport into the city.
