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 enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, family zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, provided your connection time meets the minimum requirements. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in rest zones, or using an airport hotel for a nap or shower. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it s an integral part of your journey.

In Shanghai Pudong (PVG), eligible customers may be invited to partner lounges such as the Air China Lounge or China Eastern Lounge, depending on their ticket and frequent flyer status. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to access facilities including The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, based on cabin and membership tier.

When you travel from Shanghai to Adelaide on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through from Shanghai to Adelaide, so you do not need to collect it at Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes at check-in will confirm your exact arrangements.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time, which is 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 early October to early April. This means Adelaide is typically 1.5 hours or 2.5 hours ahead of Shanghai, depending on the month.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check the latest entry regulations for Australia with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate before your trip, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity for your stay.

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

When connecting in Singapore from Shanghai to Adelaide on Singapore Airlines, you will usually remain in transit without clearing immigration. Follow the transit signs to your next gate, check the flight information displays for any gate changes, and allow time to explore amenities while staying close to your departure terminal.

If your layover is long enough and you meet Singapore s entry requirements, you may be able to leave the airport to explore the city or join an official transit tour. Always allow ample time to return for security and boarding, and check visa or entry rules before planning to exit the terminal.
