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.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining one of Singapore Changi Airport's official transit tours into the city, which highlight landmarks, riverfront areas, and distinctive neighbourhoods. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy the airport's gardens, butterfly and sunflower enclosures, indoor slides, and quiet rest zones.

Singapore Changi Airport also offers swimming facilities, transit hotels, spa services, and extensive shopping and dining, so you can relax, freshen up, or enjoy a meal between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Shanghai Pudong (PVG), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use designated partner lounges such as the Air China Lounge or China Eastern Lounge, depending on cabin class and membership status. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible travellers may access The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Lounge access always depends on your departing flight, travel class, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, while Bangkok uses Indochina Time (UTC+7) year-round. This means Bangkok is 1 hour behind Shanghai at all times. When it is 12.00 in Shanghai, it is 11.00 in Bangkok.

You will need a valid passport and any required visas or entry approvals for Thailand, as well as for Singapore if you plan to clear immigration during your transit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or consulates and reviewing our travel advisory pages before your journey.

We recommend arriving at Shanghai Pudong Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for flights to Bangkok, as you will be connecting in Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and any exit procedures before boarding your first flight.

If your Shanghai to Singapore and Singapore to Bangkok flights are booked under a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Bangkok. Your final baggage tag and claim details will be printed on your check-in receipt, so please review them carefully at the airport.

Most passengers connecting from Shanghai to Bangkok on a through-ticket remain in transit at Singapore Changi Airport and do not need to clear immigration. If you have separate tickets, plan a stopover, or leave the transit area, immigration and entry rules for Singapore will apply.
