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 Barcelona 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 SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join an official transit city tour when available, usually suited for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more. For shorter connections, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and relaxation zones within the terminals. Families may appreciate play areas and entertainment spaces, while solo travellers can use comfortable seating, shower facilities, or airport hotels for a break. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Barcelona follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Shanghai is 7 hours ahead of Barcelona in winter, and 6 hours ahead during Barcelona’s summer time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai when flying from Barcelona 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 (Barcelona–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 Barcelona–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.
