On your journey from Perth to China, you will connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy lush indoor gardens, themed rest areas, play zones for children, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options, all within easy reach of your gate. For longer daytime connections, you may be able to join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or simply relax in quiet zones and, if eligible, our lounges. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Perth operates on Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8). Most major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou, use China Standard Time (UTC+8). There is usually no time difference between Perth and these cities, and China does not observe daylight saving time, while Perth may move one hour forward if local daylight saving is in effect.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in China 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 China, 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.
