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 be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge during their time 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 San Francisco but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, so you can enjoy your layover even without leaving the terminal. For longer connections, you can join one of the airport's free city tours, which generally require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time to participate comfortably. For shorter layovers, you can explore themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and dedicated snooze spaces, or simply enjoy the wide range of dining and shopping options across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

San Francisco is in the Pacific Time Zone, which is typically UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 from roughly March to early November when daylight saving time is observed. Chongqing follows China Standard Time all year, at UTC+8. This means Chongqing is normally 16 hours ahead of San Francisco in winter and 15 hours ahead in summer.

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 (San Francisco–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing) 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 Chongqing 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 San Francisco–Chongqing 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.
