Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Beijing to Brisbane once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for your layover, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and entertainment zones. For longer connections, you can consider the official free transit tour, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours of available time between flights. Shorter layovers can be spent exploring terminals, enjoying airport attractions, or relaxing in a lounge or transit hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Brisbane is typically 2 hours ahead of Beijing throughout the year, although you should always confirm local times around your travel dates.

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