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 Los Angeles but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for all lengths of layover. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, giving you a brief introduction to Singapore between flights.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and children’s play zones across the terminals. There are also shower facilities, nap zones, and airport hotels that can be booked for a few hours, ideal if you would like to rest between the long-haul and regional sectors.

Dining and shopping options are extensive, from quick snacks to sit-down meals, along with a wide range of retail stores. Wayfinding is clear, and flight information screens are frequent, making it easy to move back to your departure gate in good time. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter (approximately November to March) and UTC−7 in summer (approximately March to November) due to daylight saving time. Hanoi operates on Indochina Time year-round, which is UTC+7. This means Hanoi is 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles during Pacific Standard Time, and 14 hours ahead during Pacific Daylight Time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Noi Bai International Airport when flying from Los Angeles 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 (Los Angeles–Singapore and Singapore–Hanoi) 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 Hanoi 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 Los Angeles–Hanoi 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.
