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 in Singapore is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining one of the official transit tours, which offer a glimpse of the city's skyline and key districts without needing to plan your own route. For shorter connections, it is best to stay airside and make the most of Singapore Changi Airport's facilities.

At the airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, children’s play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Depending on your terminal, you may also find attractions such as indoor waterfalls, walking trails, and relaxation spaces ideal for stretching between flights.

Eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing from Paris Charles de Gaulle can access a designated partner lounge, subject to their cabin class and frequent flyer status.
