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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may join one of the official city transit tour programmes, which typically require several hours between flights. Shorter connections are best spent exploring the terminals, where facilities such as quiet zones, spa services, and shower areas help you refresh before your onward journey. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing Beijing, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use partner lounges depending on the airport they fly from. At Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), qualifying passengers can access the Air China Lounge, while at Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), eligible customers may use the BCS Lounge, in line with their cabin class or frequent flyer status.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may access The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is determined by your onward flight from Singapore.

Beijing and Shanghai are both in the same time zone, observing China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year round. There is no daylight saving time in either city, so the local time is the same in Beijing and Shanghai throughout the year.

If your Beijing to Shanghai journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines or partner ticket and you remain in the transit area at Singapore Changi Airport, you usually do not need to clear immigration. We will through-check your baggage to Shanghai. Always follow the transit signs and confirm requirements for your specific itinerary.

We recommend arriving at the airport in Beijing at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security checks, and immigration formalities, as well as any additional procedures that may be in place during your travel period.

When you travel from Beijing to Shanghai on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your baggage through to your final destination. You will receive baggage tags showing Shanghai as the end point. If you have separate tickets, please confirm check-through options at check-in in Beijing.

You should carry a valid passport and any documents required for transit through Singapore and entry into Shanghai, such as visas or health-related paperwork if applicable. Requirements can change, so please check with the relevant authorities and our travel advisory page before you fly.
