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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can choose from themed gardens, rest zones, and a wide variety of shops and dining outlets without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may join an official transit tour into the city, typically requiring at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Airport hotels and relaxation areas make shorter connections comfortable, with showers and quiet spaces for rest. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may use partner facilities such as Swissport Aspire Lounge 41 and the Privium Lounge before departure. Access depends on your class of travel, fare type, and frequent flyer status, and lounge staff will confirm your eligibility at check-in or on arrival at the lounge.

During your layover in Singapore, eligible passengers travelling on Singapore Airlines flights may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access is based on your cabin class and frequent flyer status for the onward sector from Singapore.

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

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, trip purpose, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest information with the embassy or consulate of China, as well as your local authorities, before you travel. You should also ensure your passport meets all validity requirements for your journey.

For flights from Amsterdam to Beijing via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your departure gate, especially during busy travel periods.

Beijing offers several options to travel from the airport into the city, including rail links, airport buses, and taxis or private transfers. The best option depends on your arrival time, luggage, and destination. Check local information in advance so you can choose the most convenient connection on arrival.

Mobile data and Wi-Fi are widely available in Beijing, including in many hotels, cafés, and shopping centres. Power sockets often use plug types that may differ from those in the Netherlands, so we recommend bringing a universal travel adaptor and checking your devices' voltage compatibility before departure.
