Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Sri Lanka. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from Shenzhen to Sri Lanka connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, art installations, and quiet zones for shorter layovers. For longer connections, you can explore additional terminals, enjoy dining options, or, subject to timing and availability, join a free transit tour of the city. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Sri Lanka, including Colombo, uses Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Colombo is 2.5 hours behind Shenzhen throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Sri Lanka when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Sri Lanka, 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.
