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.

You may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your eligibility.

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

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers, with gardens, rest areas, shower facilities, and a wide range of dining and shopping options located across the terminals. If you have at least 5.5 hours between flights and meet the requirements, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city.

For shorter layovers, staying airside lets you make the most of the airport’s amenities, including quiet zones, snooze areas, and family-friendly spaces. If your connection is longer, an airport hotel or pay-per-use lounge can provide extra comfort and privacy.

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

Istanbul operates on Türkiye Time (UTC+3) year-round, without daylight saving time. Hyderabad follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) throughout the year. Hyderabad is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Istanbul at all times.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad when flying from Istanbul 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 (Istanbul–Singapore and Singapore–Hyderabad) 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 Hyderabad 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 Istanbul–Hyderabad 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.
