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 Yangon but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of ways to spend your layover, from themed gardens and art displays to quiet rest areas and transit hotels within the terminals. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider an official transit tour of the city, subject to eligibility and operational hours.

For shorter layovers, you can remain airside and enjoy facilities such as relaxation zones, children’s play areas, and a variety of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals. Wayfinding is clear, and transfer routes are designed for straightforward movement between gates.

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

Yangon follows Myanmar Time (MMT), which is UTC+6:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 year-round. This means Johannesburg is 4 hours 30 minutes behind Yangon throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg when flying from Yangon 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 (Yangon–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg) 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 Johannesburg 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 Yangon–Johannesburg 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.
