It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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 Melbourne but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers can relax in facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore (SIN).

Singapore Changi Airport is designed to make layovers enjoyable, with themed gardens, quiet zones, and rest areas where you can relax between flights. For layovers of at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining one of the airport’s free city tours, subject to operational availability and immigration requirements.

If your connection is shorter, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s attractions, which may include indoor gardens, art installations, play areas, and, in certain terminals, facilities such as swimming pools or entertainment zones. Dining options range from quick snacks to sit-down restaurants so you can refresh at your own pace.

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

Melbourne is in the Australia/Melbourne time zone, which is typically UTC+10, moving to UTC+11 during daylight saving time (roughly October to early April). Mumbai is in the Asia/Calcutta time zone at UTC+5:30 all year. This means Melbourne is usually 4.5 hours ahead of Mumbai in winter and 5.5 hours ahead during Melbourne daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport when flying from Melbourne via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Melbourne–Singapore and Singapore–Mumbai) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Mumbai is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Melbourne–Mumbai trip, 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.
