Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Riyadh to Chengdu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On both the Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing good comfort for the journey.

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 be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, 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 Riyadh 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 join one of the official transit tours into the city, typically available for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, subject to operating hours and eligibility. These curated tours allow you to see key highlights before returning comfortably to the airport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Changi Airport is very comfortable, with indoor gardens, rest areas, play zones, and quiet corners to relax or freshen up. You can also enjoy numerous dining outlets and retail stores, as well as airport amenities such as snooze areas and entertainment zones.

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

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. This means Chengdu is 5 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chengdu airport when flying from Riyadh 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 (Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu) 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 Chengdu 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 Riyadh–Chengdu 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.
