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, longer layovers can be spent joining an official transit tour into the city, typically available for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, subject to programme schedules and eligibility. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping.

If you are eligible, you may relax or freshen up in lounges such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before your onward flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Before departure from Paris Charles de Gaulle, eligible customers can access the Star Alliance Lounge, depending on their cabin class and frequent flyer status. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, lounge access is determined by your onward cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, with several Singapore Airlines lounges available to qualifying passengers.

For a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Paris to Johannesburg, our aim is to check your baggage through from Paris to your final destination. You will usually not need to collect your checked baggage in Singapore during the layover, but you should confirm the tagging to Johannesburg at check-in in Paris.

Paris operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Johannesburg stays on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year. This means Johannesburg is 1 hour ahead of Paris in winter, and in the same time zone as Paris in summer.

When transiting through Singapore Changi Airport, you will typically remain in the transit area between flights, with no need to clear immigration if your bags are checked through and you stay airside. Follow the transfer signs to your next gate, and check the airport screens for your departure terminal and boarding time.

We recommend arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, and border formalities, and to reach your gate comfortably, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in South Africa, as well as any conditions for transiting Singapore. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel, and ensuring your passport and documents meet all requirements.

On arrival at Johannesburg, you will disembark, proceed through immigration, and then collect your checked baggage at the arrivals hall. After customs, you can follow signs to ground transport, including train services, shuttle buses, and taxis. Allow extra time for queues during peak arrival times.

Johannesburg has warm summers with occasional showers and cool, dry winters. Pack lightweight layers and sun protection for the warmer months, and include a jumper or light jacket for cooler evenings or winter visits. It is useful to check a short-range local forecast before you travel so you can adjust your packing.
