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 passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport, 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 Chongqing but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive airside attractions, including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, art installations, and family-friendly zones, which are ideal for shorter layovers. You can also enjoy a wide choice of dining and shopping, as well as airport hotels if you would like extra rest.

If your layover is long enough, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours between flights. These guided trips give you a brief introduction to Singapore’s skyline, waterfront, and key districts before you return to the airport for your onward flight.

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

Chongqing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester uses Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) roughly from late October to late March, making Chongqing 8 hours ahead. From late March to late October, Manchester switches to British Summer Time (UTC+1), making Chongqing 7 hours ahead.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Manchester Airport when flying from Chongqing 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 (Chongqing–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester) 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 Manchester 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 Chongqing–Manchester 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.
