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.

If your layover in Singapore is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour of the city to see key sights between your flights. For shorter connections, Singapore Changi Airport offers indoor gardens, quiet zones, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping, so you can relax or stretch your legs between sectors. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Depending on your cabin and frequent flyer status, you may be able to access facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport. Access is determined by the airline, travel class, and your membership tier on the departing flight.

For a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Shanghai to Delhi, we will normally check your baggage through to Delhi at Shanghai Pudong, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. Please confirm the baggage tag and final destination with our check-in staff when you drop off your checked baggage.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Delhi follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) without seasonal changes. This means Delhi is 2.5 hours behind Shanghai throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Shanghai, it is 9.30am in Delhi.

Flights from Singapore to Delhi arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport. After landing, follow signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Once you exit the arrivals hall, you will find clearly marked options for taxis, app-based transport, and other ground transport. Check local guidance for the latest information.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy or official government website before you book, and again before you travel, to ensure you have the correct visa and travel documents.

For international flights from Shanghai Pudong to Delhi via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and reaching your departure gate.

Yes, you can choose to extend your connection and enjoy a longer stopover in Singapore, subject to the fare rules of your ticket and flight availability. When booking, select a suitable multi-day connection or speak with your travel agent to customise your itinerary.
