Singapore Changi Lounges (SIN): Every Lounge and How to Get In
Changi runs more than 20 lounges across four terminals and Jewel, and unlike almost any other hub on earth, most of them never close. Ten take Priority Pass. Here is the full map.
- Lounge verdict
- Excellent. The Singapore Airlines complexes in Terminals 2 and 3 set the global standard, and every terminal has at least one 24 hour independent door you can buy or program your way into.
- Best access play
- Priority Pass covers ten lounges here: Plaza Premium, SATS Premier and Marhaba in Terminal 1, SATS Premier and Ambassador in Terminal 2, SATS Premier, Marhaba and Ambassador in Terminal 3, Blossom in Terminal 4, and the landside Changi Lounge at Jewel.
- The one thing to know
- Terminals 1, 2 and 3 connect airside by Skytrain, so you can pick the best lounge across three terminals without clearing immigration. Terminal 4 stands alone: only passengers departing from T4 get into its transit area.
Orientation
How the Changi lounge map works
The logic at Singapore Changi is alliance geography. Terminals 2 and 3 belong to Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance, with the SilverKris complexes as the centrepiece and The Private Room sitting above them all in T3. Terminal 1 is oneworld and independent territory: Qantas, British Airways and Emirates lounges next to a strong Priority Pass lineup. Terminal 4 is the outpost, with Cathay Pacific and the Blossom lounge covering everyone else.
Hours below were checked on 8 May 2026, and the headline is that Changi is a genuine 24 hour airport. Every independent lounge inside transit runs around the clock, and so do the Singapore Airlines lounges in Terminal 3. The catch in June 2026 is construction: the T2 SilverKris complex is mid renovation, with the Business Class lounge soft opened in May 2026 and the KrisFlyer Gold lounge next in line, while the Emirates and Qatar Airways doors in T1 are temporarily closed.
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 lounges
| Lounge | Location | Hours | Access | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plaza Premium | Level 3, Departure Transit Hall | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, paid entry | Resting suites and showers around the clock; the most complete independent door in T1 |
| SATS Premier | Level 3, Departure Transit Hall | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | The largest of the three SATS Premier sites and the best food of the T1 program lounges |
| Marhaba Lounge | Level 3, above departure immigration | 24 hours, 3 hour stay cap | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | The dnata run quiet alternative when SATS Premier queues; watch the 3 hour limit |
| Qantas Singapore First | Level 3, Departure Transit Hall | Early afternoon to around 01:00, tied to Qantas departures | Qantas First, Qantas Platinum and above, oneworld Emerald | Table service dining that beats most restaurants in the city; the best oneworld room at SIN |
| Qantas International Business | Level 3, Departure Transit Hall | Split shifts around Qantas departure banks, afternoons to around midnight | Qantas and oneworld premium cabins, oneworld Sapphire and Emerald | Big, busy and reliable; check the shift times if you land midday |
| British Airways Lounge | Transit Level 3 | 15:00 to 23:00 | British Airways Club and First, oneworld Emerald and Sapphire | Refreshed in 2025 with a Concorde dining area; evenings only, built around the London departures |
| Emirates Lounge | Level 3, Departure Transit Hall | Temporarily closed as of June 2026 | Emirates premium cabins and Skywards elites when open | Check the Changi directory before relying on it; reopening date to be confirmed |
| Qatar Airways Premium Lounge | Departure Transit Hall | Temporarily closed as of June 2026 | Qatar Airways premium passengers when open | Closed at review time; Qatar premium passengers should ask at the transfer desk for the contract lounge |
T1 is the terminal where a lounge program earns its keep. Three independent doors run 24 hours within a few minutes of each other, so a midnight arrival or a 4 am departure still gets a shower and a hot meal. The airline lounges here keep banker's hours by Changi standards: Qantas and British Airways open for their evening waves and lock up overnight, so do not plan a 6 am visit around them.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 lounges
| Lounge | Location | Hours | Access | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SilverKris First Class Lounge | Departure Transit Hall, SilverKris complex | To be confirmed | Singapore Airlines First Class and Suites passengers | Reopened after renovation in late 2025; the first finished piece of the new T2 complex |
| SilverKris Business Class Lounge | Departure Transit Hall, SilverKris complex | 24 hours | Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance business class, PPS Club | Soft opened May 2026 mid renovation; expect partial spaces until the works finish later in 2026 |
| KrisFlyer Gold Lounge | Departure Transit Hall, SilverKris complex | To be confirmed | KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold flying Singapore Airlines or Star Alliance in Premium Economy or Economy | Next in the renovation queue once the Business Class lounge completes; functional in the meantime |
| SATS Premier | Departure Transit Hall | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | The dependable T2 fallback while the SilverKris works grind on |
| Ambassador Transit Lounge | Transit Lounge South, Level 3, near Transfer F | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, paid timed packages | Napping suites, showers and a gym on timed packages; built for long overnight transits |
T2 is a building site in the best sense. Singapore Airlines is rebuilding its entire lounge complex through 2026, and the early results match the new T3 standard. Until the dust settles, treat the SilverKris doors as a moving target and keep SATS Premier or Ambassador as the plan that cannot fail. Both run all night, which matters in a terminal full of red eye departures.
Terminal 3
Terminal 3 lounges
| Lounge | Location | Hours | Access | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Private Room | Level 3, SilverKris complex | 24 hours | Singapore Airlines Suites and First Class passengers only, no status entry | The best airline lounge in the world by most counts; the dining room alone justifies the ticket |
| SilverKris First Class Lounge | Level 3, near the Concourse A gates | 24 hours | Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance first class passengers | Quietly excellent and never crowded; one rung below The Private Room |
| SilverKris Business Class Lounge | Level 3, near the Concourse A gates | 24 hours | Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance business class, PPS Club | Renovated in 2023 and huge; the benchmark business lounge in Asia |
| KrisFlyer Gold Lounge | Level 3, SilverKris complex | 24 hours | KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold flying Singapore Airlines or Star Alliance in Premium Economy or Economy | The weakest room in the complex but still a real lounge with hot food at 3 am |
| SATS Premier | Departure Transit Hall | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | Hot buffet, showers and space; the strongest Priority Pass door at Changi alongside its T1 sibling |
| Marhaba Lounge | Departure Transit Hall | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | Smaller and calmer than SATS Premier; a solid second choice at peak times |
| Ambassador Transit Lounge | Mezzanine level, opposite Transfer B, next to the movie theatre | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, paid timed packages | The sleep and shower play; pair it with the free movie theatre next door |
T3 is the deepest lounge terminal at Changi and the one to route through if you have any choice. Status travellers get the full SilverKris ladder, and travellers with nothing but a Priority Pass still get three 24 hour doors. Because the Skytrain runs inside transit, a T1 or T2 departure with a long layover can ride over, use SATS Premier T3, and ride back without paperwork.
Terminal 4
Terminal 4 lounges
| Lounge | Location | Hours | Access | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cathay Pacific Lounge | Mezzanine Level 2M | From 3 hours before the first Cathay Pacific departure to the last departure | Cathay premium cabins, oneworld Emerald and Sapphire | The signature Cathay look with noodle bar; easily the best room in T4 if you qualify |
| Blossom, SATS and Plaza Premium | Level 2M | 24 hours | Priority Pass, DragonPass, airline contracts, paid entry | The one independent door in T4 and a good one; everyone without Cathay access ends up here |
T4 is the simplest call at Changi because there is no call to make: Cathay if you hold the key, Blossom if you do not. Remember the terminal quirk before you plan anything clever. T4 has no airside link to the other terminals, only passengers departing from T4 can enter its transit area, and getting to T1, 2 or 3 means a landside shuttle bus and a fresh security pass.
Jewel
Landside: the Jewel option
| Lounge | Location | Hours | Access | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changi Lounge | Jewel, Level 1, landside near Terminal 1 | 06:00 to 22:00 | Priority Pass, DragonPass, DreamFolks, paid entry | The only lounge before security; useful for early check in waits and Jewel visits, not for overnight stays |
The Changi Lounge sits inside Jewel before immigration, which makes it the answer to a question most airports cannot answer at all: where to wait in comfort when you cannot get airside yet. It closes at 22:00, so it is a daytime tool, not a bed for the night.

What actually opens these doors
Priority Pass is the widest key at Changi: ten lounges across all four terminals and Jewel, every airside one of them open 24 hours. The program also covers a roster of restaurants and spas, including Crystal Jade La Mian in Terminal 1, Asian Street Kitchen and the TranSpa and Natureland spa services in Terminal 2, The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck in Terminal 3 and Tiger Den in Terminal 4, which pay out as set menus, bill credits or treatments.
DragonPass mirrors nearly the entire lounge list and runs its own dining roster on top, so a DragonPass from a bank card buys the same map with slightly different restaurant names.
Paying at the door works at every independent lounge: SATS Premier, Plaza Premium, Marhaba, Blossom and the Changi Lounge all sell entry, and the Ambassador Transit Lounges in Terminals 2 and 3 sell timed packages with nap suites and showers that suit overnight transits better than a flat entry fee.
Class of travel and status covers the airline doors: the Singapore Airlines complexes in Terminals 2 and 3 for Star Alliance travellers, the Qantas, British Airways and Emirates rooms in Terminal 1 for oneworld and Emirates flyers, and Cathay Pacific in Terminal 4. The Private Room takes only Singapore Airlines Suites and First Class passengers, with no status path in.
Program rules shift and renovations move doors around, so confirm the lounge you are counting on the day you fly. For the full strategy on the widest key, see the SIN Priority Pass guide.

FAQ
Changi lounge questions
Which Changi lounges take Priority Pass?
Ten: Plaza Premium, SATS Premier and Marhaba in Terminal 1, SATS Premier and Ambassador Transit Lounge in Terminal 2, SATS Premier, Marhaba and Ambassador Transit Lounge in Terminal 3, Blossom in Terminal 4, and the landside Changi Lounge at Jewel. The program also covers a long list of restaurants and spas across the terminals, including The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck in Terminal 3.
Are Changi lounges open 24 hours?
Most are. Every Priority Pass lounge inside the transit areas runs around the clock, and the Singapore Airlines lounges in Terminal 3 never close. The exceptions sit in Terminal 1, where the Qantas and British Airways lounges keep afternoon and evening hours tied to their departure banks.
Can I pay to enter a lounge at Changi without flying business class?
Yes. SATS Premier, Plaza Premium, Marhaba and Blossom all sell entry at the door, and the Ambassador Transit Lounges in Terminals 2 and 3 sell timed packages that can include nap suites and showers. The Changi Lounge at Jewel sells landside entry before you clear security.
What is the best lounge at Singapore Changi?
The Private Room in Terminal 3 if you are flying Singapore Airlines Suites or First Class; nothing else at the airport matches its dining. On Priority Pass, the SATS Premier lounges in Terminals 1 and 3 are the strongest doors, with hot buffets, showers and 24 hour operation.
Can I use a lounge in a different terminal at Changi?
Between Terminals 1, 2 and 3, yes. The Skytrain links them inside transit, so you can ride to a better lounge and back without clearing immigration. Terminal 4 is the exception: it has no airside link to the rest, and only passengers departing from Terminal 4 can enter its transit area.
Is there a landside lounge at Changi Airport?
Yes, the Changi Lounge at Jewel, Level 1, open 06:00 to 22:00. It takes Priority Pass, DragonPass and DreamFolks as well as paid entry, and it is the place to wait in comfort before check in opens or after a long landside arrival.
