Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Germany. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility

Your connection from Shenzhen to Germany is via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour, relax in airport gardens, or visit swimming pools, rest areas, and themed zones across the terminals. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy quiet seating, shops, and dining close to your departure gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Frankfurt and Munich both use Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Germany is normally 7 hours behind Shenzhen in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Germany when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Germany, 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.
