On the Xiamen–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class features seats that convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access. The same configuration applies on the Singapore–Bandar Seri Begawan sector, also flown by the Boeing 737-8 MAX.

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 Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, according to their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to relax during your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to rest areas and comfortable seating. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider an official transit tour that gives a brief introduction to the city before you return airside.

For shorter layovers, you can stay within the terminals and enjoy attractions such as indoor gardens, family zones, and a wide choice of dining. Airport hotels and nap facilities are available if you wish to rest between flights.

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

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Bandar Seri Begawan also follows Brunei Darussalam Time (UTC+8) without daylight saving. This means there is no time difference between Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan at any time of the year, which makes planning your schedule straightforward.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Bandar Seri Begawan airport when flying from Xiamen via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Bandar Seri Begawan) 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 Bandar Seri Begawan 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 Xiamen–Bandar Seri Begawan 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.
