If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter connection, Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and a wide selection of shops and dining.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

If your journey is booked as a single Singapore Airlines itinerary with a connection in Singapore, your checked baggage will normally be transferred automatically to your onward flight — you do not need to collect and recheck it. On arrival in Singapore, follow the signs for transit passengers and proceed to your departure gate, where Singapore Airlines and Changi Airport staff are available to assist. If you have a longer layover, you can explore the airside facilities or, for eligible passengers, access the SilverKris or KrisFlyer Gold Lounges before your next flight.
