At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to longer connections, with gardens, relaxation areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options directly in the terminals. For layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may also consider joining an official transit city tour, subject to eligibility and schedule.

If your layover is shorter, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, and, in selected terminals, facilities such as pool access or cinema experiences. Showers and airport hotels are available for travellers who wish to freshen up or rest between flights.

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

At Johannesburg (JNB), it is usually most convenient to remain airside between flights, especially for standard connection times. You will find cafés, shops, and seating areas where you can relax, browse, or have a meal while you wait for your onward flight to Singapore.

If you have a longer layover, consider booking access to an airport lounge or a nearby airport hotel for additional comfort and privacy. Always allow enough time to return through security and reach your next departure gate, as the airport can be busy at peak times.

Cape Town follows South Africa Standard Time, which is UTC+2 year-round. Barcelona follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter, typically late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer, typically late March to late October. This means Barcelona is usually 1 hour behind Cape Town in winter and aligned with Cape Town in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Barcelona Airport when flying from Cape Town via Johannesburg and 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 (Cape Town–Johannesburg and Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Barcelona) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Johannesburg and Singapore must each 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 Barcelona is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

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.
