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.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is long enough, you can join an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These tours offer a convenient way to see key sights without managing your own transport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Changi Airport is comfortable and relaxing. You can explore themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and quiet corners, or take a walk through the terminals to stretch your legs between flights.

If you have more time and prefer to rest, consider booking an airport hotel or nap facility within the terminal complex so you can sleep, shower, or work in a private space. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Manila, eligible customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport before the first sector. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your cabin and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.
