It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number 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.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping, making it easy to relax between flights. For longer layovers, you can consider joining an official city tour programme, which usually requires several hours of connection time to join safely. Shorter transits are well spent enjoying indoor attractions, children’s play zones, or simply unwinding at a café near your departure gate. 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) year-round, and Bandar Seri Begawan uses Brunei Darussalam Time (UTC+8) year-round. There is no daylight saving time in either city, so the time is the same in Shanghai and Bandar Seri Begawan throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Brunei International 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–Bandar Seri Begawan) 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 Bandar Seri Begawan 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–Bandar Seri Begawan 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.
