Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the United Kingdom. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility

Most journeys from Sydney to the United Kingdom connect through Singapore Changi Airport, where you can enjoy indoor gardens, themed rest areas, shops, dining, and, on longer transits, the option of a free city tour when available. For shorter layovers, you may prefer to stay airside, relax in a lounge if eligible, freshen up with a shower, or explore the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Sydney usually runs ahead of London and Manchester. During the United Kingdom’s standard time (late October to late March), London and Manchester are typically 11 hours behind Sydney. When British Summer Time is in effect (late March to late October), the difference is usually 9 hours, as clocks move forward by one hour in the United Kingdom while Sydney may also shift with Australian daylight saving changes.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the United Kingdom when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to the United Kingdom, 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.
