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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers an official free transit tour for travellers with a layover of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, giving you the chance to see highlights of the city before returning for your onward flight. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy the airport’s themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones.

If you prefer to relax, look for quiet zones, spa facilities, or transit hotels within the terminals to freshen up between flights.

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

In Kochi, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers departing from Cochin International Airport may be invited to use the Earth Premium Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status, as shown on your booking or boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Your boarding pass and membership tier will indicate which facility you can use.

Kochi follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 year-round, with no daylight saving time. Manila follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8, also without daylight saving time. Manila is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kochi throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check the latest entry and transit regulations with the Philippine authorities or your nearest consulate, and review any transit requirements for Singapore before you travel.

For international flights from Kochi to Manila via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Cochin International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities.

When you fly from Kochi to Manila with Singapore Airlines, your baggage is usually checked through to Manila, and you receive your onward boarding pass in Kochi when possible. At Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transit signs to your next gate and check the flight information screens for any updates.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport offers several ways to reach central Manila, including public transport and various private transfer options. Travel times can vary depending on traffic and the time of day, so we recommend checking transport choices and routes in advance and allowing extra time for your journey.
