It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On the Frankfurt to Singapore sector, Economy Class typically offers a 32-inch pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, while Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to a 20-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and Suites or First Class offer a fully flat bed with additional space and privacy.

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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers, who may be invited to lounges such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), or the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class). Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class, typically to lounges such as the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge or designated partner facilities.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Frankfurt but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be used to join the official transit tour into the city, which generally requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights to allow enough time for immigration, the tour, and your return to the terminal. It is a convenient way to gain a first impression of Singapore between sectors.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter layover, you can relax in the airports themed gardens, quiet rest areas, or snooze zones, or freshen up with a shower or a swim where available. Families will find play areas, while plenty of seating and charging points make it easy to work or unwind.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

Frankfurt follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving. This means Shenzhen is 7 hours ahead of Frankfurt in winter, and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shenzhen airport when flying from Frankfurt via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Frankfurt–Singapore and Singapore–Shenzhen) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Shenzhen is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Frankfurt–Shenzhen trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
