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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be invited to relax in facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable and enjoyable layovers, with themed gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and family-friendly zones spread across the terminals. For shorter connections, you can stay airside, explore the terminal attractions, and enjoy a leisurely meal or a quiet corner to relax.

With a longer layover, eligible travellers may also consider joining an official city tour when available, which typically requires several hours between flights to allow enough time to clear formalities and return for boarding. Alternatively, airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges offer spaces to rest, shower, or work in private.

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

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Manila follows Philippine Time (UTC+8) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means there is no time difference between Shanghai and Manila throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport when flying from Shanghai 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 (Shanghai–Singapore and Singapore–Manila) 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 Manila 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 Shanghai–Manila 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.
