On the Chengdu to Adelaide route via Singapore, our Boeing 787-10 aircraft offers an individual entertainment screen at every seat, with a wide selection of movies, TV shows, music, and games.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can make the most of extensive airside facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly spaces. For longer layovers, an official transit tour allows you to see highlights of Singapore if you meet the minimum connection time and entry requirements. Shorter layovers are comfortable spent in the terminal, where you will find showers, lounges, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may access the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before departure. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, and our airport staff will guide you to the correct facility after check-in.

During your transit at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be invited to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by the details of your onward flight from Singapore.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Adelaide follows Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) from around April to early October and Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10:30) from around early October to early April. Adelaide is therefore 1.5 hours or 2.5 hours ahead of Chengdu, depending on the month.

Visa requirements for travel from Chengdu to Adelaide depend on your nationality, purpose of visit, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest entry requirements with the relevant Australian government authorities or your local consulate before you book and again before you travel.

For flights from Chengdu to Adelaide via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security, immigration, and getting to your departure gate comfortably.

On arrival in Adelaide, you will proceed through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and clear customs and biosecurity checks. Follow the signs to the arrivals hall for onward transport options. Allow additional time if you need to declare items or if you are connecting to a domestic flight.

When you connect in Singapore, you usually remain in the transit area if your baggage is checked through to Adelaide. Follow the transfer signs to your next departure terminal and gate, and check the flight information screens for any updates. Our ground staff at Changi Airport are available to assist with directions or connection questions.
