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 make use of themed gardens, quiet rest zones, art installations, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, usually requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter connections are best spent exploring the terminals, visiting relaxation areas, or enjoying a meal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin of travel and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by the eligibility rules that apply to your onward flight from Singapore.

If your Los Angeles to Kolkata journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we normally check your baggage through to Kolkata at Los Angeles. You can confirm this at check-in, and you generally do not need to collect your checked baggage during your transit at Singapore Changi Airport.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 during daylight saving time (roughly March to early November). Kolkata observes India Standard Time year-round at UTC+5:30. This means Kolkata is 13.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter, and 12.5 hours ahead during daylight saving time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking with the relevant Indian authorities or your local consulate and reviewing the latest information before you travel from Los Angeles to Kolkata.
