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 consider joining the airport’s official free city tour if your connection is long enough, usually at least 5.5 to 6 hours. This offers a brief introduction to Singapore’s highlights before returning in time for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is comfortable and convenient. Changi Airport offers themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and, in some terminals, facilities such as cinemas or swimming pools, helping you relax between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Medan, at Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may access the Saphire Mandai International Lounge before the first sector to Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, and local lounge policies apply.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is always determined by the onward flight and applicable membership benefits.

Medan follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) year-round. Melbourne follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Melbourne is therefore 3 hours ahead of Medan in winter, and 4 hours ahead in summer.

When you arrive from Medan via Singapore, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs at Melbourne Airport. Allow time to complete these formalities and follow the signs to ground transport, where you will find options such as trains, buses, and taxis to the city and surrounding areas.

Visa requirements for travel from Medan to Melbourne depend on your nationality and purpose of visit. We recommend that you check the latest information with the Australian authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate, and ensure that your passport and any required documents are in order before departure.

For Medan to Melbourne journeys via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Kualanamu International Airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, and to move comfortably to your boarding gate.

If your Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Melbourne flights are on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Melbourne. You should still confirm through-check at check-in and keep your baggage tags until you have collected your bags at your final destination.
