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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city if your connection is at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, or stay airside and explore gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and family-friendly attractions. There are also quiet spaces, shower facilities, and many dining options. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Manchester Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use partner lounges such as 1903 Lounge or Escape Lounge before departure, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access eligibility will be confirmed during check-in or on your booking details.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.
