Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from London to Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet.

Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

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.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from London but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour from Singapore Changi Airport that offers a brief introduction to the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest zones, play areas, and a wide choice of dining. You can also use quiet seating areas, snooze zones, and, in some terminals, facilities like a swimming pool or cinema to refresh between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

London follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) roughly from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) from late March to late October. Beijing uses China Standard Time all year, which is UTC+8. This means Beijing is 8 hours ahead of London during GMT, and 7 hours ahead during BST.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from London via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (London–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Beijing is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your London–Beijing trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
