Yes, you can select seats on both the Chongqing to Singapore and Singapore to Riyadh sectors, subject to availability and fare conditions. We recommend choosing seats when you book or via Manage Booking, as some seats may be chargeable depending on your fare and KrisFlyer status.

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 have many ways to relax between flights. For longer connections of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official airport-arranged transit tour of the city, subject to operating hours and eligibility.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. You can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, free cinema screenings in selected terminals, and family zones. There are also airport hotels and spas where you can rest or refresh.

If you are eligible for lounge access, you can relax in dedicated spaces such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before your next flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the International First and Business Class Lounge before boarding. Access depends on your travel class, fare type, and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

For most Chongqing to Riyadh itineraries booked on a single Singapore Airlines ticket, we will check your baggage through from Chongqing to Riyadh via Singapore. You usually do not need to collect and re-check bags during the layover. Your baggage tag and boarding passes will confirm your routing.

Chongqing is in the China Standard Time zone (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh is in the Arabia Standard Time zone (UTC+3), also without daylight saving time. This means Riyadh is 5 hours behind Chongqing throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of visit, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the official Saudi authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate before you travel, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity.

For international flights from Chongqing to Riyadh via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, baggage drop, security screening, and immigration formalities.

King Khalid International Airport is connected to Riyadh by road and rail. You can choose between taxis, app-based ride services, airport buses, or train links where available. Journey times vary with traffic, so we recommend checking local transport information on arrival or with your hotel.

Mobile coverage is generally strong in Riyadh, and you can purchase a local SIM card or use roaming if your provider supports it. Cards are widely accepted in hotels, malls, and many restaurants, but it is sensible to confirm payment options in advance and follow local guidance on preferred methods.
