Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent on a city tour, usually available for transit passengers with at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, subject to programme timings and immigration requirements. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy attractions such as indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and children’s play zones, or simply relax at your departure gate.

For most through-ticketed itineraries from Paris to Shanghai on Singapore Airlines, we check your checked baggage through to your final destination, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore.

Paris operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Shanghai stays on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Shanghai is 7 hours ahead of Paris in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you book, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity and any required documentation for transit and entry.

For flights from Paris to Shanghai via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle at least 3 hours before departure. This allows ample time for check-in, security screening, and any tax refund formalities before you proceed to the gate.

Your connection in Singapore is usually straightforward, with clear wayfinding and dedicated transfer counters. Follow the Transfer signs after arrival, verify your next gate and boarding time, and allow time to enjoy airport facilities. If you hold both boarding passes, you can proceed directly to your next departure gate after security.

If your layover is long enough and you meet entry requirements for Singapore, you may choose to leave the airport. Always consider immigration processing, travel time to and from the city, and the need to be back at the gate well before boarding. Check local regulations before you go.
