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.

For layovers at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy extensive airside facilities including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With a longer connection, you may join an official Singapore city tour, which typically requires at least a 5.5 to 6-hour layover. For shorter transits, it is more convenient to stay airside, relax, refresh, and explore the terminals amenities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may use the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before departure. Lounge access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, and the facilities offer a quiet space to relax, work, or refresh before your flight.

For most itineraries from Chengdu to Shanghai on a single Singapore Airlines ticket, we will check your baggage through from Chengdu to Shanghai via Singapore. You usually do not need to collect your checked baggage at Singapore Changi Airport during the layover, but please confirm this at check-in when you receive your baggage tags.

Chengdu and Shanghai both follow China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 year-round, and neither city observes daylight saving time. This means there is no time difference between Chengdu and Shanghai at any time of the year, making it easier to adjust on arrival.

We recommend arriving at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as you will also be connecting in Singapore. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities before you proceed to the boarding gate.

Transit visa requirements for Singapore depend on your nationality and travel documents. Many passengers can transit airside at Singapore Changi Airport without a visa, but some may require one. We recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your local Singapore mission before you travel.

When you arrive in Shanghai from Chengdu via Singapore, you will clear immigration and customs in Shanghai. After collecting your checked baggage, you can follow airport signs to public transport, taxis, or onward connections. It is advisable to check local transport options in advance to plan your journey into the city.
