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. 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.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Paris but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may use The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining the official free city tours, which typically require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time between flights. These tours let you see highlights of Singapore before returning comfortably for your onward connection.

If you prefer to stay airside, the airport offers themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones, as well as facilities such as transit hotels and wellness services. Shorter layovers are easily filled with a relaxed meal, a walk through the terminals, or some light shopping between gates.

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

Paris is in the Europe/Paris time zone, which is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 during daylight saving time (late March to late October). Shanghai is in the Asia/Shanghai time zone, which is UTC+8 year-round. This means Shanghai is 7 hours ahead of Paris in winter, and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai when flying from Paris 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 (Paris–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai) 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 Shanghai 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 Paris–Shanghai 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.
