Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging, from indoor gardens and themed resting areas to a wide range of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a city tour programme, which usually requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights to join safely and return on time. For shorter connections, stay airside and enjoy amenities such as quiet zones, transit hotels, and family-friendly spaces. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Amsterdam, eligible passengers and members may be invited to use facilities such as Swissport Aspire Lounge 41 or Privium Lounge, depending on their ticket and frequent flyer status. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, as shown on your boarding pass.

For most itineraries ticketed on a single Singapore Airlines booking from Amsterdam to Chongqing, we will check your baggage through to Chongqing at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. You usually do not need to collect it in Singapore during your layover. Your baggage tag and boarding passes will confirm the final tagged destination.

Amsterdam follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Chongqing uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Chongqing is 7 hours ahead of Amsterdam in winter, and 6 hours ahead during Amsterdam’s summer time.

For flights from Amsterdam to Chongqing via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at least 3 hours before departure to allow enough time for check-in, security, and immigration. If you need special assistance or are travelling in a group, arriving a little earlier can be helpful.

Visa and entry requirements for Chongqing depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant consulate or official government sources before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity for your trip.

On arrival at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, you can usually choose between metro, airport buses, and licensed taxis to reach the city centre. The metro offers a predictable journey into town, while taxis and car services provide direct point-to-point travel. Check local transport information on arrival to select the option that best suits your schedule.

Mobile data and Wi-Fi are widely available in Chongqing, especially in hotels, cafés, and many public areas. Power sockets typically use plug types that may differ from those in the Netherlands, so it is advisable to bring a suitable travel adaptor. Check with your accommodation for detailed information about voltage and socket types.
