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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you have many ways to make the most of your time. For longer transits, you can join an official city tour if your schedule allows, giving you a glimpse of Singapore between flights. For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore the airport’s gardens, rest areas, and family zones, or enjoy a meal and a refreshing shower. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

At Surabaya Juanda International Airport (SUB), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the Concordia Premier Lounge before their flight. Access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status, and our check-in staff will guide you on eligibility on the day of travel.

During your layover at Singapore, eligible passengers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge eligibility is based on your departing flight from Singapore.

Surabaya follows Asia/Jakarta time (UTC+7) year-round. Darwin follows Australia/Darwin time (UTC+9:30) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Darwin is 2h 30m ahead of Surabaya throughout the year.
