It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should ensure their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours 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.

Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport, depending on 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 Los Angeles but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining the official free transit tour, which typically requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of connection time. This allows you to see highlights of Singapore before returning comfortably for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you easy access to themed gardens, quiet rest areas, snooze zones, and entertainment spaces such as cinemas, depending on your terminal. You can also freshen up in pay-per-use lounges or use airport shower facilities where available.

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

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 in winter (roughly November to March) and UTC-7 during daylight saving time in summer (roughly March to November). Beijing follows China Standard Time year-round at UTC+8. This means Beijing is typically 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter and 15 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Los Angeles 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 (Los Angeles–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) 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 Beijing 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 Los Angeles–Beijing 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.
