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.

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 Shanghai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Eligible customers may use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore (SIN), according to their cabin class and frequent flyer status.

If you have several hours in Singapore, you can join one of the official transit tours, which typically require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours, allowing you to see key highlights of the city before returning to the airport. For shorter layovers, staying airside at Singapore Changi Airport gives you access to themed gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining options. Depending on your terminal, you may also find amenities such as quiet zones, entertainment spaces, and transit hotels for a quick rest. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) throughout the year. Barcelona follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter, typically late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer, usually late March to late October. This means Barcelona is 7 hours behind Shanghai in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Barcelona-El Prat Airport when flying from Shanghai 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 (Shanghai–Singapore and Singapore–Barcelona) 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 Barcelona 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 Shanghai–Barcelona 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.
