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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining a city tour if your transit time and entry requirements allow, with programmes typically requiring at least about 5.5 hours between flights. Shorter layovers are comfortable airside, where you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Singapore, eligible passengers departing for Seattle may be invited to use our SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your onward flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

For a single-ticket Medan to Seattle itinerary with us, we usually check your baggage through from Medan to Seattle. You can stay within the transit area at Singapore Changi Airport and do not need to collect and re-check your bags, unless advised otherwise by our airport staff at check-in.

If your layover is long enough and you meet entry requirements for Singapore, you may choose to leave Singapore Changi Airport to explore the city before returning for your flight to Seattle. Always allow sufficient time for immigration, security, and boarding, and check visa requirements before planning to exit the airport.

Medan follows Asia/Jakarta time, which is UTC+7 year-round. Seattle follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 during standard time (roughly November to March) and UTC−7 during daylight saving time (roughly March to November). This means Seattle is 14 or 15 hours behind Medan, depending on the month.

Visa and entry requirements for travel from Medan to Seattle depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy or official government website before your trip, and ensure that your passport, documents, and any required approvals are in order well before departure.

For your Medan to Seattle journey, we recommend arriving at Kualanamu International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, and immigration before boarding your Medan to Singapore flight and continuing to Seattle.

Seattle weather can be cooler and more variable than Medan, so pack layers, including a light waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes. Bring any essentials you need for a long-haul flight, such as personal medications and a change of clothes, in your cabin baggage, and check current weather forecasts before you travel.
