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, including gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces, so shorter layovers are comfortable if you stay airside. For layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider an official transit or city tour, subject to operating hours and eligibility. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to access The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Eligibility is determined by your departing flight from Singapore and your membership tier.

At Shanghai Pudong International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use partner lounges such as the Air China Lounge or China Eastern Lounge before departing for Singapore. Access depends on your class of travel and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Shanghai operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Brisbane is 2 hours ahead of Shanghai throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check the latest entry regulations for Australia with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy before your trip, and ensure your passport has sufficient validity for your stay.

For international flights from Shanghai Pudong to Brisbane via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time to allow for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.

When connecting in Singapore, you usually remain in transit without passing immigration, and your checked baggage is tagged through to Brisbane if both flights are on one ticket. Follow the transfer signs to your next departure gate and check the information screens for boarding time and terminal.

Brisbane Airport offers several transport options to the city, including rail links, buses, and taxis, as well as car hire. Journey times are typically around 20 to 30 minutes depending on the option chosen and traffic. For the latest information, please check with Brisbane Airport or local transport providers.
