Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

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.

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

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can choose from themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and play zones, or visit the expansive Jewel complex with its indoor waterfall and walking trails if time allows. For a longer layover of at least 5.5 hours, you may join an official transit tour to see highlights of the city.

Shorter connections are comfortable if you stay airside, making use of showers, relaxation zones, and a wide range of dining and retail options spread across the terminals. If you have an extended overnight break, you may prefer a transit hotel within or near the terminal for more rest.

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

At Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport, most travellers find it easiest to remain airside between flights, where you will find cafés, restaurants, and shops for last-minute essentials. If you are eligible, you can also relax in a lounge to freshen up and recharge devices.

For longer layovers, consider an airport hotel or day room close to the terminal to rest in a quieter environment. Leaving the airport during a short connection is not recommended due to travel time and formalities.

Brussels follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) roughly from late March to late October. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year and does not observe daylight saving. This means Brussels is usually the same time as Cape Town in summer, and 1 hour behind in winter.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Cape Town International Airport when flying from Brussels via Singapore and Johannesburg 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 (Brussels–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg–Cape Town) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connections in Singapore and Johannesburg must each be less than 24 hours. If any 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 or Johannesburg to Cape Town is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

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.
