Beverage Service
A curated selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board. Please note that no meal service is provided for Economy Class passengers on the Singapore–Kuala Lumpur segment due to the short flight time.

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 extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining the official transit tour to see highlights of Singapore without handling your checked baggage.

For shorter layovers, it is easy to stay airside and enjoy Changi Airports attractions, including themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you want to rest. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before departure, subject to their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge staff at the airport can confirm your entry eligibility on the day of travel.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their onward flight and eligibility. Please check your boarding pass or ask our staff for guidance.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, while Kuala Lumpur observes Malaysia Time (UTC+8) year-round. There is no daylight saving time in either city, so the time difference between Chengdu and Kuala Lumpur is always zero; local time is the same in both cities throughout the year.

On the Chengdu to Kuala Lumpur route, you will transfer at Singapore Changi Airport. If your flights are on a through-ticket, your checked baggage is usually tagged to Kuala Lumpur, and you can follow the transfer signs without clearing arrival immigration. Always check your boarding passes and airport screens for terminal and gate information.

If you have a longer layover, you can explore the airport’s dining, shopping, and relaxation areas. Leave enough time to reach your next departure gate, especially if it is in a different terminal, and refer to airport maps and signage for walking times.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, passport type, and the rules for entering Singapore and Malaysia. Some travellers may also need a transit visa, even if they do not leave the airport. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel to ensure you have the correct documents.

For international flights from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Kuala Lumpur via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities, as well as any additional checks that may be in place.
