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 enjoy lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, art installations, and a wide choice of dining. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city if your connection time meets the minimum requirements.
