Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Africa. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from Siem Reap to South Africa connect via Singapore Changi Airport. If you have a longer layover, you can consider the free transit tours when available, or simply explore the airport's themed gardens, art installations, and rest areas.

For shorter connections, you may prefer to stay near your departure gate, visit a lounge if eligible, or enjoy the airport's dining and shopping options. Showers, quiet zones, and transit hotels are available if you would like to refresh or rest.

Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Siem Reap operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7). Johannesburg and Cape Town both use South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) and do not observe daylight saving. This means South Africa is 5 hours behind Siem Reap throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in South Africa when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to South Africa, 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.
