Most flights from China to Busan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a free transit tour for eligible passengers with sufficient layover time, allowing you to see a snapshot of Singapore between flights. If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter connection, you can enjoy themed gardens, entertainment zones, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options within the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Most major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing, follow China Standard Time (UTC+8). Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). This means Busan is typically 1 hour ahead of all these Chinese cities throughout the year, as neither country observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Busan 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 Busan, 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.
