Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines services from Brisbane to Chongqing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members.

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, longer layovers can be spent joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter transits, you can enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, children play zones, and entertainment facilities within the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Brisbane (BNE), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), qualifying passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Chongqing is 2 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

We recommend that you arrive at Brisbane Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as your journey includes international travel and a connection in Singapore. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security, and any departure formalities.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or consulate, as well as official government websites, to confirm current entry rules for China before you travel.

Your flight from Brisbane will arrive at Singapore Changi Airport, where clear signage and transfer desks make connections straightforward. Follow the transfer signs, check your departure gate on the screens, and allow time to enjoy airport facilities before boarding your onward flight to Chongqing.
