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 Bandar Seri Begawan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers in Singapore can access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, which showcase highlights such as the skyline and waterfront areas. Always check the latest requirements and tour timings before you travel.

For shorter layovers, it is comfortable to stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport’s amenities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and art installations spread across the terminals. You can also visit airport attractions such as indoor green spaces and viewing galleries to stretch your legs between flights.

If you prefer to rest, look for nap zones, rest areas, or airport hotels that offer short stays, so you can freshen up before your onward journey to Xiamen. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bandar Seri Begawan follows Asia/Brunei time, which is UTC+8, and Xiamen follows Asia/Harbin time, which is also UTC+8. There is no daylight saving time in either city, so the time is the same in Bandar Seri Begawan and Xiamen throughout the year.
