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, longer layovers can be spent exploring themed gardens, indoor attractions, and dedicated rest zones, or by joining an official city tour if your connection time meets the minimum requirements. Shorter transits are comfortable too, with quiet seating areas, showers, and dining options close to the gates. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines flights from Milan Malpensa (MXP) may use designated departure lounges such as the Montale Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status.

Eligible customers may be invited to lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Your boarding pass will indicate your lounge entitlement.

Milan operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) and observes daylight saving, switching to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Chengdu is 7 hours ahead of Milan in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and travel purpose. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassies or consulates, or consult official government travel websites, well before departure to ensure you have the correct entry documents for China and any transit points.
