Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Xiamen to Chengdu, once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans.

On both the Xiamen to Singapore Boeing 737-8 MAX sector and the Singapore to Chengdu Boeing 787-10 sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable legroom. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, designed for rest and privacy.

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 use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers abundant ways to relax and refresh during your layover. With sufficient transit time of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour to see highlights of the city. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and in-terminal attractions.

There are also shower facilities, quiet zones, and transit hotels if you prefer privacy and rest between flights. Dining and shopping are available throughout the terminals, so you can explore at your own pace before boarding your next flight.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen and Chengdu are both in China Standard Time, which is UTC+8. There is no time difference between the two cities, and China does not observe daylight saving time, so this remains the same throughout the year.

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