Most flights from China to Phnom Penh connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing, or explore airport attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and rest areas. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy dining options, shopping, quiet zones, and, if eligible, our lounges for a shower and refreshments. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Phnom Penh operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7). Mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou, uses China Standard Time (UTC+8). This means Phnom Penh is 1 hour behind these Chinese cities throughout the year, as neither country observes daylight saving time.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Phnom Penh, subject to your ticket conditions and availability.
