If your Chengdu to Penang journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Penang. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will show your final destination, and our airport staff will confirm the details at check-in.

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 gardens, rest areas, art installations, and a wide choice of dining and shopping within the terminals. For longer transits, you may join an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport's themed zones, relaxation corners, and amenities such as play areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

You may be able to leave the airport during your Singapore layover if your connection time and entry requirements allow. Before planning to go into the city, please check your visa eligibility, immigration rules, and the time needed for arrival formalities, travel into town, and security checks on your return to the airport.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers can relax in the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Access is determined by your cabin class, KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and fare conditions at the time of travel.
