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, eligible customers may be able to access facilities including the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours between flights to join comfortably. This offers a convenient way to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you access to indoor gardens, quiet seating zones, and rest areas designed for transit passengers. Some terminals also feature spa services and children’s play areas, helping you relax or stretch between long sectors.

Dining and shopping options are extensive, ranging from quick snacks to full meals and a wide variety of international and regional brands. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Amsterdam follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. New York follows Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) from roughly March to early November. This means New York is usually 6 hours behind Amsterdam during winter, and typically 6 hours behind during much of the summer as both regions switch to daylight saving on different dates but keep a similar offset for most of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York when flying from Amsterdam 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 (Amsterdam–Singapore and Singapore–New York) 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 New York 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 Amsterdam–New York 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.
