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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping during your layover. For longer layovers, you may join the official free city tour programme, which usually requires several hours of transit time.

Yes, at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before boarding the Chengdu to Singapore flight. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, as shown on your booking and boarding pass.

For most itineraries from Chengdu to Manila on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we check your baggage through from Chengdu to Manila, so you do not need to collect it during your layover in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm the through-check details at check-in.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Manila also observes Philippine Time (UTC+8) year-round without daylight saving. This means there is no time difference between Chengdu and Manila at any time of the year.

Your arrival and departure terminals at Singapore Changi Airport depend on the specific flights assigned for your travel date, typically within Terminals 2 or 3 for Singapore Airlines operations. Your e-ticket and airport flight information screens will confirm the exact terminals on the day.

We recommend arriving at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration before you proceed to the boarding gate for your first sector.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel documents. Some travellers can transit airside in Singapore without a visa, while others may need one even for short stays. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit rules with the relevant authorities and our website before you travel.

Manila has a warm, tropical climate with high humidity year-round, so light, breathable clothing is useful, along with comfortable footwear and a light layer for air-conditioned spaces. As rainfall can be sudden, consider carrying a compact umbrella or rain jacket and check local forecasts before you fly.
