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. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

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 Chongqing but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers enjoyable. For shorter connections, you can relax in themed gardens, rest areas, or quiet zones, and explore the terminals' art installations and indoor greenery without leaving the airport. Longer layovers may allow time to discover additional amenities such as play areas and transit hotels.

If your schedule permits at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to operating hours and eligibility, to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. Otherwise, staying airside provides a calm and efficient experience, with clear wayfinding and a variety of dining options.

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

Chongqing follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time, which is UTC+3 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh is therefore 5 hours behind Chongqing throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh when flying from Chongqing 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 (Chongqing–Singapore and Singapore–Riyadh) 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 Riyadh 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 Chongqing–Riyadh 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.
