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.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status. Lounge access is determined by your departing flight and your membership tier.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy gardens, relaxation areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

If your Riyadh to Chongqing journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your baggage through to Chongqing, and you will not need to collect it in Singapore. You should confirm through-check details at check-in in Riyadh and follow the transfer signs at Singapore Changi Airport.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving. Chongqing is therefore 5 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel. We recommend that you check with the relevant embassies or official government websites before your trip, and ensure your passport, visa, and any supporting documents meet the latest entry requirements for China and transit requirements for Singapore.

For your Singapore Airlines flight from Riyadh to Chongqing via Singapore, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and any exit formalities before you proceed to your boarding gate.

On arrival in Chongqing, follow the signs for immigration, baggage reclaim, and customs. Have your passport, visa documents, and arrival forms ready for inspection. After collecting your checked baggage, proceed through customs and into the arrivals hall, where you will find signs for ground transport and airport information.

You can shop at duty-free outlets at Riyadh Airport and at Singapore Changi Airport during your layover, subject to customs regulations. Allow time before boarding to complete your purchases, and keep receipts and packaging handy in case you are asked to present them on arrival in Chongqing.
