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 amenities, including themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and varied dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official city tour if your connection meets the minimum time requirement.

On a single Singapore Airlines booking from Dhaka to Shanghai, we typically check your baggage through from Dhaka to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. You can confirm this at check-in in Dhaka, where our staff will ensure your bags are tagged correctly for Shanghai.

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. Shanghai is 2 hours ahead of Dhaka throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Dhaka, it is 14.00 in Shanghai.

On this route, Singapore Airlines operates to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, using a convenient one-stop connection via Singapore. Your first sector is from Dhaka to Singapore, and your onward flight arrives at Hongqiao, which is well connected to the city by public transport and taxis.

We recommend arriving at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This gives you ample time for check-in, immigration, and security checks, especially when travelling on a one-stop itinerary via Singapore to Shanghai.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and your length of stay in China. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the relevant embassy or consulate, and reviewing any transit rules that may apply when connecting through Singapore.

Shanghai has extensive mobile and data coverage, and many hotels, cafes, and public areas offer Wi-Fi. Payment by card and digital methods is widely accepted in larger establishments, but smaller shops may prefer local payment options, so it is best to check locally and be prepared with alternatives.

From Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, you can reach the city using metro lines, airport buses, or taxis. Metro connections link the airport to major districts and interchange stations, making it easy to transfer to other lines. For the latest options and travel times, check local airport and transport information when you arrive.
