Yes, Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from London to Xiamen once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. 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 London to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and Suites or First Class provide a spacious fully flat bed. On the Singapore to Xiamen sector, Business Class has lie-flat or deeply reclining seats depending on the configuration, and Economy Class offers comfortable legroom comparable to regional full-service flights.

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 London but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. With sufficient time between flights, you can join an official free city transit tour, which usually requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours, subject to current operating guidelines.

For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you access to gardens, quiet zones, showers, and rest areas across the terminals, as well as family-friendly play spaces and art installations. You can also enjoy a wide range of shopping and dining within easy walking distance of your gate.

If you have a longer connection and prefer to rest, consider booking an airport transit hotel or using designated rest areas to sleep and freshen up before your onward flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

London operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. Xiamen follows China Standard Time all year (UTC+8). This means Xiamen is 8 hours ahead of London in winter, and 7 hours ahead when London is on summer time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen Airport when flying from London 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 (London–Singapore and Singapore–Xiamen) 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 Xiamen 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 London–Xiamen 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.
