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, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options during your layover. For longer connections of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter layovers, staying airside allows you to make the most of lounges, shower facilities, and quiet zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

During your layover in Singapore, eligible customers may access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by the details of your onward boarding pass from Singapore.

For most through-ticketed itineraries from Phuket to Shanghai on Singapore Airlines, we will check your baggage through to Shanghai at Phuket International Airport. You usually do not need to collect your checked baggage in Singapore during the layover, but your baggage tag and boarding pass will confirm the final tagged destination.

Phuket follows Thailand Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. Shanghai is 1 hour ahead of Phuket throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Phuket, it is 1.00pm in Shanghai.

Singapore Airlines flights from Phuket to Shanghai, operated via Singapore, arrive at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, which uses the city code SHA. Your exact terminal will be shown on your e-ticket and boarding pass.

We recommend arriving at Phuket International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure, as you will check in for your connecting journey to Shanghai and clear security and immigration. This gives you time to check baggage, collect boarding passes, and proceed comfortably to the gate.

Visa requirements for travel from Phuket to Shanghai depend on your nationality, length of stay, and purpose of visit. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant embassies or official government websites before you travel, as regulations and entry conditions can change.

On arrival in Shanghai, you will follow signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Have your passport, completed arrival documentation if required, and accommodation details ready for inspection. After customs, you will find clear signs to city transport options such as trains, metro services, and taxis.
