It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On both the Milan–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg sectors, Economy Class offers a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch seat pitch with up to 20-inch seat width for extra comfort. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat on the Airbus A350-900, allowing you to rest more fully on both legs of the journey.

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.

Eligible customers may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, depending on cabin and tier.

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 Milan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your layover in Singapore is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining one of the airport's free city transit tours, which showcase key highlights without the need to plan logistics yourself. These tours depart from within Singapore Changi Airport and are designed for transit passengers.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, snooze zones, and, in some terminals, attractions such as indoor slides, art installations, and viewing decks. There are also hotels and snooze facilities within or connected to the terminals for added rest.

Extensive dining and shopping options, along with showers in some lounges and pay-per-use facilities, help you feel refreshed before your onward flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Milan follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Johannesburg is on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year and does not observe daylight saving. This means Johannesburg is 1 hour ahead of Milan in winter, and there is no time difference in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg when flying from Milan 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 (Milan–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg) 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 Johannesburg 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 Milan–Johannesburg 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.
