It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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 relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight.

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

If you have a longer connection in Singapore, you can join the airport’s official transit tour into the city, which generally requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. This lets you see key landmarks before returning to the terminal in time for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Singapore Changi Airport is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play spaces, and in selected terminals, facilities such as a swimming pool or cinema. You can also freshen up with shower facilities or relax at an airport hotel if you prefer a private space.

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

San Francisco operates on Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 from roughly March to early November. Munich follows Central European Time, which is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 from roughly late March to late October. This means Munich is typically 9 hours ahead of San Francisco during San Francisco’s winter, and 8 or 9 hours ahead at other times of the year, depending on the overlap of daylight saving periods.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Munich Airport when flying from San Francisco 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 (San Francisco–Singapore and Singapore–Munich) 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 Munich 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 San Francisco–Munich 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.
