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 make the most of your layover with indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which generally requires several hours between flights.

If you prefer to stay in the terminal, you will find shower facilities, snooze zones, and airport hotels that allow you to rest between sectors. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Colombo on Singapore Airlines-operated flights, eligible customers may be invited to relax in lounges at Bandaranaike International Airport, such as the AASL Lotus Lounge or Araliya Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Access is determined by your booked cabin and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier.

During your layover in Singapore on the way to Chengdu, eligible passengers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is based on your onward boarding pass and membership tier.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year. Chengdu uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Chengdu is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

Visa requirements vary by nationality and the purpose and duration of your stay. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy or consulate, or consult your local authorities and official government websites, before you travel from Colombo to Chengdu.

For flights from Colombo to Chengdu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Bandaranaike International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

Chengdu is connected to its airport by public transport and road links, including rail and bus services, as well as taxis and private transfers. On arrival, follow airport signage or enquire at information counters to choose the option that best suits your schedule and comfort preference.

Pack light layers to adapt from Colombo's tropical climate to Chengdu's more varied seasons. Comfortable walking shoes are useful for city exploration and day trips. Carry essential travel documents, chargers, and any medication in your cabin baggage, and check luggage rules before you finalise your packing.
