Learn about changes to your airport experience
Do find out if there are new health and safety measures at your departing, transiting, and arriving airport as they may affect your travel.
Singapore Changi Airport | Star Alliance Airports | Perth, Australia | Brisbane, Australia | Melbourne, Australia | Adelaide, Australia | Sydney, Australia
Checking in
We encourage all passengers to minimise their time at the airport by turning on auto check-in, checking in online, or checking in with the SingaporeAir mobile app if they are eligible to do so. Even if you are required to check in at the airport counter, be assured that there are many safety precautions in place to make your departure safe and smooth.
Check in online
From 48 hours to 90 minutes before flight departure, you can check in online or via the SingaporeAir mobile app. If you have turned on auto check-in in Manage Booking, you will receive an email confirmation once we have checked you in.
Generate boarding pass and declare checked baggage
If you are eligible for a digital or mobile boarding pass, generate them after checking in. If you wish to check in your baggage yourself (selected airports only), declare the number of bags for later printing of baggage tags at the airport, to minimise contact with the self-service kiosk.
Print baggage tags
If you have declared the number of bags you are checking in online, you can use self-service kiosks at selected airports to print your baggage tags, by simply scanning your digital or mobile boarding pass. Otherwise, you can declare checked baggage via the kiosks to generate. You will be prompted to scan your digital or mobile boarding pass. At Changi Airport, these kiosks are fitted with proximity sensors, so you will only need to hover your finger over the screen to make your selection.
Check in your bags at the automated bag drop
Once you have printed your baggage tags, attach them to your bags and drop them off at the automated bag drop counters. These automated bag drops counters are available at selected airports, including Changi Airport in Singapore.
Undergo a health assessment
You should expect to undergo a basic health assessment at the airport. Depending on the airport, this may include temperature screening or questionnaires about your travel history.
SilverKris lounge
As you might expect, we have introduced safety precautions and stepped up cleaning protocols in our lounges. Additionally, the SilverKris lounge in Singapore has been accredited as a SG Clean establishment, which certifies that we are upholding a high level of sanitation and hygiene standards.
Check if the lounge is open
Even if you are eligible for lounge access, you should check if it is open before planning a visit as there may have been changes due to the Covid-19 outbreak. In Singapore Changi Airport, only the SilverKris lounge in Terminal 3 is open. However, most passengers transiting through Singapore, except those arriving from Australia, Brunei, Mainland China, New Zealand and Taiwan, will not be allowed access due to regulatory requirements.

Present your mobile boarding pass
To enter the lounge, simply show us your mobile boarding pass on the SingaporeAir mobile app. You will also be required to check in via SafeEntry. To do this, simply use your mobile to scan a QR code and submit your personal particulars.
Order food with your mobile
For your safety, we are offering à la carte meals instead of the usual self-service buffet service. Connect to SilverKris lounge WiFi, then scan the QR code at your table to view the menu and place your orders. Once your food is ready, you will be notified to pick it up at the collection point.
