Please note that no meal service is provided for Economy Class passengers on the Singapore–Kuala Lumpur segment due to the short flight time.

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 passengers may be able to use lounges such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities to make your layover more enjoyable, from themed gardens and quiet rest areas to swimming pools, cinemas, and children’s play zones. With a longer layover, you can also explore curated experiences in the different terminals.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, giving you a brief overview of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. Shorter layovers are best spent airside, where there are many dining and shopping choices.

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

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Kuala Lumpur follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving. This means there is no time difference between Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur at any time of the year, making planning your schedule straightforward.

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