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 Frankfurt but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may be able to access The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining the official free transit tour, which usually requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This offers a brief introduction to the city before you return to the terminal for your onward journey. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s extensive amenities, including indoor gardens, rest zones, play areas, and a wide range of dining options. Some terminals also offer features such as cinemas or themed installations to help the time pass comfortably. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Frankfurt follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Xiamen is typically 7 hours ahead of Frankfurt in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen when flying from Frankfurt 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 (Frankfurt–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 Frankfurt–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.
