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.

During a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by the onward flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for both short and longer layovers, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play zones.

For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy amenities such as walking trails through indoor gardens, relaxation zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping. Airport hotels and nap areas are available if you prefer to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

For most Singapore Airlines itineraries from Johannesburg to Kuala Lumpur via Singapore booked on a single ticket, we check your baggage through to Kuala Lumpur. You will usually not need to collect your checked baggage at Singapore Changi Airport during your layover. Your baggage-tag and boarding passes will confirm the final tagged destination.

Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Kuala Lumpur follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8) all year and also does not observe daylight saving time. Kuala Lumpur is therefore 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg throughout the year.
