Seat selection may be complimentary or chargeable depending on your cabin and fare. You can manage or change your seat choice via our website or mobile app before departure.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you have several options to relax or explore. For longer layovers, you can join the airport’s official free city tours, which typically require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These tours offer a brief introduction to Singapore’s main sights without needing to clear immigration on your own.

If you prefer to stay airside, Changi Airport features themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and an extensive range of shops and dining outlets. Airport hotels and nap facilities are available for rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Shanghai Pudong International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to partner lounges before departure, such as the Air China Lounge or China Eastern Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight and membership tier.

If your layover is long enough and you meet local entry requirements, you may be able to leave Singapore Changi Airport to explore the city independently or join an official transit tour. We recommend allowing generous time for immigration, transport, and security screening before your onward flight to Perth.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. Perth follows Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means there is usually no time difference between Shanghai and Perth throughout the year, making it easy to adjust on arrival.

On arrival in Perth, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs and biosecurity checks. Allow extra time for baggage inspection, as Australia has strict rules on bringing in food and other items. After customs, you will find clear signage to transport, information desks, and onward connections.

We recommend arriving at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at least three hours before your first Singapore Airlines flight to Singapore, especially if you need to check in baggage or complete travel formalities. This allows time for check-in, security screening, and a relaxed walk to your departure gate.

If you are travelling on a single Singapore Airlines or partner-issued ticket from Shanghai to Perth via Singapore, we will usually check your baggage through to Perth. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm this at check-in. If you hold separate tickets, you may need to collect and re-check your bags in Singapore.

Visa and entry requirements for Australia depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. Before you travel from Shanghai to Perth, please check the latest information with the relevant authorities or your nearest consulate, and ensure any required approvals are obtained before departure.
