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.

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 Melbourne but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed rest areas, children’s play zones, and a variety of dining and retail options without leaving the terminal. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may be able to join an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and timing.

For shorter layovers, you can take advantage of quiet zones, nap-friendly seating, and, in selected terminals, facilities such as swimming pools or cinemas where available, allowing you to rest or be entertained before your onward flight. Signage and information counters make it easy to find showers, relaxation areas, and your next departure gate.

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

Melbourne follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from around late April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from around early October to late April. Delhi observes India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Delhi is 4.5 hours behind Melbourne during AEST, and 5.5 hours behind during AEDT.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi when flying from Melbourne 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 (Melbourne–Singapore and Singapore–Delhi) 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 Delhi 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 Melbourne–Delhi 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.
