Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore.

Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for its transit experience, and longer layovers can be a good opportunity to discover more. If your connection is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city operated from the airport, subject to eligibility and timing.

For shorter layovers, it is usually best to stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport’s amenities. Depending on your terminal, you can visit themed gardens, quiet rest areas, family zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you wish to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Surabaya (SUB), eligible passengers may relax at the Concordia Premier Lounge before flying to Singapore and connecting onwards to Shanghai. Lounge access depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, or lounge membership, and is determined by the airline and class of your departing flight.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

Surabaya follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), while Shanghai uses China Standard Time (UTC+8). Shanghai is 1 hour ahead of Surabaya throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy or consulate, or consult official government websites, before your trip to ensure you have the correct documents for entry into China.

Shanghai is served by convenient transport links, such as metro lines, airport buses, and taxis from both major airports. Travel times vary by time of day and destination, so we recommend checking current options and routes on arrival or through official transport websites before you travel.

For flights from Surabaya to Shanghai via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, immigration, and a relaxed walk to your boarding gate.

Shanghai offers widespread mobile data coverage, and many hotels, cafés, and shopping centres provide Wi-Fi. Digital and card payments are common, but acceptance may vary, so it is advisable to carry more than one payment method. Check with your bank and mobile provider before travel for roaming and payment options.
