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 Los Angeles but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

If you have at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may be able to join one of Singapore Changi Airport’s official transit tours, which offers a brief introduction to the city without the need to manage your own arrangements. For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you access to gardens, quiet resting areas, showers, and other amenities spread across the terminals.

You can explore themed spaces, children’s play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping options, or simply find a calm corner to rest before your next sector. 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 and UTC-7 during daylight saving time, typically from March to early November. Xiamen follows China Standard Time all year, which is UTC+8. This means Xiamen is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter and 15 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport 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–Xiamen) 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 Xiamen 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–Xiamen 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.
