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 is designed for comfortable transits, with attractions such as indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly zones spread across the terminals. If your layover is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining the official Free Singapore Tour to see highlights of the city before returning for your next flight. Shorter layovers can be spent exploring the airport's dining, shopping, and relaxation spaces, or simply unwinding near your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the Le Saigonnais Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access policies are confirmed at check-in and on your boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers travelling on Singapore Airlines may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Our staff at the airport will guide you to the appropriate lounge shown on your boarding pass.

Ho Chi Minh City operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing uses China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. This means Chongqing is 1 hour ahead of Ho Chi Minh City throughout the year.

On arrival at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, you will follow signs for arrivals, immigration, and baggage reclaim. After collecting your checked baggage, you can choose from public transport or licensed ground transport options into the city. It is advisable to check the latest information on transport routes and travel requirements before you fly.

For flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Chongqing via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

If both sectors of your journey are booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we normally check your bags through from Ho Chi Minh City to Chongqing. You will not usually need to collect them in Singapore. Your baggage tag and boarding passes will confirm the final tagged destination during check-in.
