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 lush indoor gardens, themed rest areas, play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer transits, official city tours are available from the airport for travellers who meet the minimum layover time, allowing you to see highlights of Singapore before returning to your gate. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring Changi Airport facilities, from relaxation zones to transit hotels and swimming pools. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, at Kualanamu International Airport in Medan you may be able to access the Saphire Mandai International Lounge, depending on your ticket, frequent flyer status, or paid access options. Lounge facilities typically include comfortable seating, light refreshments, and quieter spaces to relax before your flight to Singapore.

During your layover at Singapore, eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines flights to Beijing may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance tier. Check your boarding pass or with our staff to confirm your specific entitlement.

Medan follows Asia/Jakarta time, which is UTC+7 year-round. Beijing follows Asia/Shanghai time, which is UTC+8 year-round. This means Beijing is 1 hour ahead of Medan throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Medan, it is 13.00 in Beijing.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking with the relevant embassy, consulate, or official government website before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity and any required documents for entry to China and transit via Singapore.

We recommend arriving at Kualanamu International Airport at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, immigration, and reaching your gate comfortably before boarding begins.

Beijing is served by organised airport transport options such as metro links, dedicated airport buses, and licensed taxis. Services may vary by terminal and time of day, so we suggest checking the latest information from the airport or your accommodation and allowing extra time during busy periods.

Mobile coverage in Beijing is generally strong in urban areas, and many hotels, cafes, and public spaces offer Wi-Fi. Before you travel, check roaming agreements with your provider or consider local connectivity options on arrival. Some online services may work differently, so download any essential apps or maps in advance.

Beijing has an extensive metro network with clear station signage and route maps, making it a practical choice for visitors. Taxis and app-based transport are also widely available. Plan extra time for longer journeys, and keep your destination address written in Chinese characters to show drivers if needed.
