Most journeys from China to Phuket connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, to see highlights such as the skyline and waterfront before returning to the airport. For shorter stops, stay airside and explore Changi s attractions, including indoor gardens, butterfly and cactus spaces, walking trails, play areas, and a wide range of shops and restaurants. You can also relax in quiet zones or, for longer transits, consider a hotel inside or near the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait it is an integral part of your journey.

Most cities in mainland China, including Xiamen, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, follow China Standard Time (UTC+8). Phuket operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7). This means Phuket is 1 hour behind these Chinese cities all year round, as neither uses daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Phuket when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner operated onward flights, a through check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Phuket, 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.
