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 one of the most traveller-friendly hubs in the world. For longer layovers, consider joining the official complimentary transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter stops, stay airside to explore themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family zones, or take a swim at the airport pool in selected terminals. Dining options range from quick snacks to full meals, and there are plenty of shops for last-minute gifts. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Delhi, eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing on the Delhi to Singapore sector may be invited to use the Encalm Prive Lounge at Delhi Airport. Lounge access depends on your cabin class and frequent flyer status, and will be indicated on your boarding pass at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership status. Your boarding pass and our airport staff will confirm which lounge you are able to use.

Delhi operates on India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Delhi throughout the year.

When you arrive in Shanghai from Delhi, you will first clear immigration, then collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs. After leaving the arrivals area, you can follow signs to public transport, airport coaches, or official taxi stands. It is advisable to check current entry requirements and document guidelines before you travel.

For international flights from Delhi to Shanghai via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Delhi Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, as well as a relaxed walk to your gate or a short visit to the lounge if you are eligible.
