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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for a relaxing layover, including themed gardens, rest zones, a swimming pool, and numerous dining and shopping options. If your connection is long enough, you can join a dedicated transit tour into the city. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Shanghai, eligible customers departing from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) may be invited to relax in partner lounges such as Air China Lounge or China Eastern Lounge, depending on their itinerary and eligibility. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers can access selected Singapore Airlines lounges, including dedicated spaces for premium cabins and frequent flyer members, before continuing to Dubai.

You may leave Singapore Changi Airport during your layover if your connection time, entry requirements, and visa status allow. We recommend allowing generous time for immigration, transport, and security on your return. If you prefer to stay airside, the airport provides many quiet areas, showers, and amenities to make your transit comfortable.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Dubai is 4 hours behind Shanghai throughout the year, so when it is 20.00 in Shanghai, it is 16.00 in Dubai.

For flights from Shanghai Pudong to Dubai via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the check-in area at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa requirements for Dubai and for transit through Singapore depend on your nationality and passport. Before you travel, please check the latest entry and transit regulations with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity.

Your bags are usually checked through from Shanghai to Dubai, so you can follow the transfer signs on arrival at Singapore Changi Airport and proceed directly to your next departure gate. Keep an eye on terminal and gate information on airport screens, and allow time to enjoy the airports facilities between flights.

Health and travel document requirements between Shanghai, Singapore, and Dubai can change over time. Before departure, please review current guidance on vaccination, health declarations, and other documents from official government and airline channels, and carry printed or digital copies as requested.
