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 wide range of airside facilities, including indoor gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly play zones.

Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. This means Chengdu is 2 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassy or consulate, or consult your local authorities and official government websites, before you travel from Brisbane to Chengdu.

For flights from Brisbane to Chengdu via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Brisbane Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, baggage drop, security checks, and a relaxed walk to your boarding gate.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is connected to the city by public transport and road links. Options include metro services, airport buses, and taxis or private transfers. Journey times vary, so we recommend checking local information and your accommodation details before you arrive.

Mobile data coverage is widely available in Chengdu, and many hotels, cafes, and public spaces offer Wi-Fi. Power outlets typically use plug types common in mainland China, so you may need a travel adaptor. Check your device compatibility before departure and confirm details with your accommodation.
