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.

You may be able to access The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your eligibility.

Lounge Access Eligibility

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for its gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas, making even short layovers comfortable. For layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining one of the official free transit tours that take you into the city for a brief introduction to Singapore, subject to eligibility and availability.

Airport hotels and rest facilities are also available if you would like a private space to sleep or freshen up between flights.
