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.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for relaxing and exploring between flights. If your layover is long enough, you can join one of the official transit tours into the city, which usually require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of available transit time.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, rest areas, free movie screenings, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may relax in the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible guests can access facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and membership status.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Sydney operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April.
