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.

When departing from Dubai for Guangzhou, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access designated partner lounges at Dubai International Airport, including facilities such as the Ahlan First Class Lounge and the Ahlan Business Class Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to spend your layover between Dubai and Guangzhou. With enough time, you can join the official free Changi Airport transit tour into the city, which typically requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. This gives you a brief introduction to Singapore between flights.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and, in some terminals, attractions such as indoor waterfalls and walking trails. There are also shower facilities, nap areas, and transit hotels if you wish to rest. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) and does not observe daylight saving time. Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving. This means Guangzhou is 4 hours ahead of Dubai throughout the year; when it is 12.00pm in Dubai, it is 4.00pm in Guangzhou.

When you fly this route with us, you will depart from Dubai International Airport and arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, with a transit at Singapore Changi Airport. Your terminal information will be shown on your e-ticket and may be updated closer to departure.

We recommend arriving at Dubai International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for Guangzhou. This allows enough time for check-in, baggage drop, security checks, and reaching your boarding gate, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and the purpose of your visit. Some travellers may also need transit clearance for Singapore. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites and ensuring that your documents meet all entry and transit requirements before departure.

On arrival at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, you will proceed through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs. After that, you can follow signs to ground transport, including metro, buses, and official taxi ranks. It is helpful to have your accommodation address written down to show local transport staff if needed.
