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 Christchurch but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for its range of attractions, including themed gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas, making even short layovers enjoyable.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find comfortable seating zones, nap areas, children’s play spaces, and a wide range of dining and shopping options across the terminals. Some terminals also offer additional amenities such as swimming pools, cinemas, or gaming areas that help time pass quickly.

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