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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Los Angeles but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for both short and longer layovers. With at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining a free city transit tour, subject to availability and entry requirements. For shorter connections, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, or relax in airport hotels and spas within the terminals. Families will find play areas and entertainment spaces, while other travellers can explore art installations and walking trails. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time (UTC−8), switching to Pacific Daylight Time (UTC−7) roughly from March to early November. Guangzhou observes China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round and does not use daylight saving time. This means Guangzhou is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter, and 15 hours ahead during Los Angeles daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport when flying from Los Angeles via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Los Angeles–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Guangzhou is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Los Angeles–Guangzhou trip, 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.
