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 a wide range of facilities, including themed gardens, rest areas, family-friendly attractions, and a variety of dining and shopping options, making even short layovers comfortable. For longer layovers of around 5.5 to 6 hours or more, you may have time to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and operating hours.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can relax at quiet zones, explore the different terminals, or enjoy spa and hotel facilities located within the airport. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Kolkata Airport (CCU), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the Travel Club Lounge before departure. Lounge access is based on your Business Class or Economy Class ticket type, as well as your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status. Please check your boarding pass or with our staff at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Access rules are determined by your onward flight from Singapore.

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8:00 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata all year round.

When you arrive in Beijing from Kolkata, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs before entering the arrivals hall. Allow time for formalities, especially during busy periods, and keep your passport, arrival documentation, and accommodation details ready for inspection.

For your Kolkata to Beijing journey via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Kolkata Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, and gives you the opportunity to relax or visit the lounge before boarding.

Visa requirements for travelling from Kolkata to Beijing depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or consulate, or consulting official government resources, before you travel to ensure that you have the correct documents.

Beijing is connected to the city by several transport options, including rail links, airport buses, and taxis, depending on which airport and terminal you arrive at. Journey times can vary with traffic and time of day, so it is best to check current options and directions when you arrive or before you travel.

Beijing experiences distinct seasons, so your packing will depend on the time of year. In winter, bring warm layers, a coat, and accessories such as gloves, while in summer, lighter breathable clothing is more suitable. Comfortable walking shoes are useful year-round for exploring the city and the Great Wall.
