Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, and hot beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, alongside a curated range of other alcoholic beverages.

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 customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their 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 Guangzhou but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour that gives you a short introduction to the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy amenities such as themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and airport hotels within the terminals.

There are also plentiful dining and shopping options, from quick snacks to sit-down meals, along with shower facilities in selected areas and lounges. Digital wayfinding screens help you locate gates and services quickly so you can relax between flights.

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

Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Melbourne uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. This means Melbourne is typically 2 hours ahead of Guangzhou in winter, and 3 hours ahead in summer.

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