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 the official transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter connections, you can enjoy airside highlights such as indoor gardens, relaxation areas, 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 Hanoi, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access partner lounges such as the SH Premium Lounge Ha Noi before departing for Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, and our airport staff will guide you to the appropriate facility on the day of travel.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to lounges including the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Your boarding pass and our staff at the airport will confirm your lounge entitlement.

Hanoi operates on Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg uses South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg is therefore 5 hours behind Hanoi throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest information with the South African authorities or your nearest consulate, and ensuring that your passport has sufficient validity and blank pages before you travel.

For flights from Hanoi to Johannesburg via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for smooth transfers, with clear signs and dedicated transfer counters. If both your flights are on a single Singapore Airlines booking, your checked baggage is usually tagged through to Johannesburg. Follow the transfer signs on arrival, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to enjoy the airport facilities.

Before travelling, it is advisable to check any recommended vaccinations or health advice for South Africa with a medical professional. Ensure you have suitable travel insurance and keep important documents, medications, and valuables in your cabin baggage so they remain with you throughout the journey.

O. R. Tambo International Airport offers several transport options into Johannesburg, including trains, shuttle services, and taxis. On arrival, follow airport signs to the transport area and check locally for the most convenient and up-to-date options for reaching your accommodation.
