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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Delhi but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour from Singapore Changi Airport to see highlights of the city without arranging your own transport. This is a convenient way to experience a few key sights between long-haul sectors.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly spaces spread across the terminals. You can also explore art installations, indoor walking paths, and viewing galleries overlooking the runway.

If you prefer more privacy, consider booking an airport hotel or rest area inside the terminal for a shower and sleep between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Delhi follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not change throughout the year. San Francisco follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 (Pacific Standard Time) from roughly November to March, and UTC−7 (Pacific Daylight Time) from roughly March to November. This means San Francisco is 13.5 hours behind Delhi during Pacific Standard Time, and 12.5 hours behind during Pacific Daylight Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to San Francisco International Airport when flying from Delhi via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Delhi–Singapore and Singapore–San Francisco) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to San Francisco is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Delhi–San Francisco trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
