Yes, Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Johannesburg and Brisbane once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members required to add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Johannesburg–Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore–Brisbane sector, Economy Class seats have a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class again features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

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 be able to access lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge during their layover.

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

If your layover is long enough, Singapore Changi Airport offers a free city tour for eligible transit passengers, typically requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This can be a relaxing way to see highlights of Singapore without arranging your own transport.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy airport attractions such as themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and relaxation zones. Some terminals also offer showers, nap areas, and family-friendly spaces where you can freshen up or let children unwind.

If you prefer to remain close to your gate, there are many dining outlets and seating zones throughout the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and does not observe daylight saving time. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Brisbane is 8 hours ahead of Johannesburg throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Brisbane Airport when flying from Johannesburg 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 (Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Brisbane) 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 Brisbane 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 Johannesburg–Brisbane 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.
