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.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Johannesburg. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your onward flight from Johannesburg. Other options, such as pay-per-use lounges, may also be available in the terminal.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, qualifying customers can access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on eligibility. In Johannesburg, eligible passengers may be able to use the South African Airways The Lounge (Premium).

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a minimum layover of around 5.5–6 hours. For shorter connections, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide variety of shops and dining options.

Some terminals also feature relaxation zones and airport hotels where you can rest between flights. With clear signage and efficient security, it is easy to move between gates while still having time to relax. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Johannesburgs main international airport, it is usually most comfortable to remain airside during your layover, especially for shorter connection times. You can make use of lounges, eateries, and retail outlets to relax, refresh, and pick up any essentials you need.

If you have a longer layover, consider booking a room at an airport hotel or using quiet seating areas to rest between flights. Airport staff and signage will help you navigate between international gates with ease. Your time at Johannesburgs airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Da Nang follows Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 and also does not change seasonally. This means Cape Town is 5 hours behind Da Nang throughout the year.

You will depart from Da Nang International Airport, then connect at Singapore Changi Airport before flying onward to Johannesburg and Cape Town. The specific terminals used at each airport can vary by flight and day, so we recommend checking your e-ticket and airport flight information screens on the day of travel.

We recommend arriving at Da Nang International Airport at least 2 hours before departure for your Da Nang–Singapore sector, and earlier if you prefer a more relaxed check-in experience. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, immigration, and reaching your gate before boarding begins.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. Some travellers may be able to transit through Singapore and Johannesburg without a visa if they remain airside, while others may require documentation. We recommend checking the latest requirements with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy before you travel.

In most cases, when you travel from Da Nang to Cape Town on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we check your baggage through to your final destination. You will still need to follow any local procedures during transit. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm your routing at check-in.
