Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore.

Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

If your layover in Singapore is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining one of the official transit tours of the city, which showcase key landmarks before you return airside. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy Changi Airport s indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, children s play zones, and swimming pool facilities, depending on the terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it s an integral part of your journey.

In Seoul at Incheon International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers can relax in the SilverKris Lounge before flying to Singapore. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible travellers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and frequent flyer status.

For a single through-ticket from Seoul to Los Angeles, we will check your baggage through to Los Angeles and transfer it during your layover at Singapore Changi Airport. In most cases you will not need to collect and re-check your bags, unless local regulations or separate tickets require it, which will be explained at check-in.

Seoul follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is Pacific Standard Time (UTC−8) from roughly November to March, and Pacific Daylight Time (UTC−7) from roughly March to November. This means Los Angeles is typically 16 or 17 hours behind Seoul, depending on the time of year.

Visa and entry requirements for Los Angeles depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant United States authorities or your local consulate, and ensuring your passport and any required documents meet all entry and transit rules before departure.

For flights from Seoul to Los Angeles via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Incheon International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, immigration, and to reach your boarding gate comfortably.

When connecting in Singapore from Seoul to Los Angeles, follow the transfer signs to your departure gate or transit desk. In most cases you can stay within the transit area, and your boarding pass for the onward sector will be issued at check-in or collected in Singapore. Monitors and airport staff will guide you if your gate or terminal changes.

To ease jet lag on this eastbound journey, try to rest on the longer Singapore to Los Angeles sector, drink water regularly, and move around the cabin when it is safe to do so. Adjusting your watch to Los Angeles time after boarding and spending time in daylight on arrival can help your body adapt more quickly.
