Our onboard Wi-Fi is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any high-data activities for before or after your flight.

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.

Eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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 Dubai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent exploring themed gardens, viewing art installations, or relaxing in dedicated rest areas and quiet zones. With sufficient connection time, you may also consider the official transit tour programme, which typically requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy facilities such as snooze areas, children’s play zones, and a wide choice of cafés and restaurants. Some terminals also offer spa services and transit hotels if you would like to rest in privacy between sectors.

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 (GST), which is UTC+4 and does not observe daylight saving time. Xiamen follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Xiamen is therefore 4 hours ahead of Dubai throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen when flying from Dubai 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 (Dubai–Singapore and Singapore–Xiamen) 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 Xiamen 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 Dubai–Xiamen 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.
