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 enjoy a range of facilities, from gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and transit hotels. For longer layovers, you may join the official Free Singapore Tour, which usually requires at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter connections are well spent exploring the terminals, where you will find play areas, relaxation zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Shanghai Pudong International Airport on Singapore Airlines flights, eligible customers may be invited to use partner lounges such as the Air China Lounge or the China Eastern Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is confirmed at check-in and on your boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport on the way to Taipei, eligible customers may be able to access lounges such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge entitlements are based on your onward flight from Singapore.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and Taipei follows Taiwan Standard Time (UTC+8). Neither city observes daylight saving time, so the time is the same in Shanghai and Taipei throughout the year.

On arrival at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, you will follow signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Airport staff and signage help guide you to transport options such as trains, buses, and authorised taxis. It is advisable to confirm the latest local transport and travel information before you fly.

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

Transit visa requirements for Singapore depend on your nationality and travel documents. Some travellers may enter visa-free, while others require a visa even for short stays. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit rules with the relevant authorities or your nearest diplomatic mission before you travel.

To make your connection in Singapore as smooth as possible, keep your boarding passes handy and follow the transfer signs on arrival. If your bags are checked through to Taipei, you can stay within the transit area and proceed directly to your next gate. Flight information screens and airport staff are available throughout the terminals to guide you.
