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 explore a wide range of airside amenities, including indoor gardens, walking trails, relaxation zones, and family-friendly play areas. For longer connections, you may consider an official city tour, which usually requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours.

Shorter layovers can be spent enjoying the airport s dining choices, browsing shops, or taking a shower and rest in designated facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Johannesburg on this route, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the South African Airways The Lounge (Premium) at Johannesburg O. R.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers travelling to Adelaide may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Your boarding pass will indicate your lounge entitlement and terminal.
