Flights between China and South Korea generally follow the weight-concept baggage policy. For Economy Class, the typical allowance starts from 25kg of checked baggage. Premium Economy Class offers a higher allowance, often from 35kg. Business Class and First Class receive an even more generous checked baggage allowance.

All customers may bring cabin baggage on board, with the number of pieces and weight depending on the cabin class booked. Weight limits are higher in Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class compared with Economy Class.

Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website before you travel.

Non-members and additional devices can use paid Wi-Fi plans, which are suitable for messaging, email, and general web browsing. This helps you stay connected with family or keep up with work while you fly.

For stability and safety, high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, and large file transfers may not be supported or could be restricted during the flight.

From Beijing to South Korea, you can travel in Economy Class and Business Class on all routes via Singapore. Some services that use the Boeing 777-300ER also offer Premium Economy Class and First Class on the Beijing–Singapore sector.

Availability of each cabin class may differ between the Beijing–Singapore and Singapore–South Korea segments, so your full journey could include different cabin configurations. When you book, you can view the cabin classes offered on each flight to choose the option that best suits your needs.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch, with seat widths of up to about 19 inches, designed for comfort on longer journeys. Premium Economy Class, where available on selected Beijing–Singapore sectors, offers around 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for more personal space.

Business Class seats on these routes convert into fully flat beds, with every seat providing direct aisle access on widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER, and spacious layouts on the Boeing 787-10 and Boeing 737-8 MAX. First Class, available on some Boeing 777-300ER services between Beijing and Singapore, features a fully flat bed and an enhanced personal space.

Cabin layouts and exact seat designs may vary slightly by aircraft type and route, so you can check the seat map during booking for more detail.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Korea. 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.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

Most journeys from Beijing to Seoul or Busan connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, art installations, and quiet seating zones for shorter layovers. You can explore themed zones, refresh in rest areas, or enjoy a meal at one of the many dining options.

For longer layovers, you might choose to visit additional terminals to experience more of the airport’s attractions, or relax in a lounge if you are eligible. Transit hotels and nap facilities can help you rest between flights.

If time allows and entry requirements are met, you may be able to explore the city on an organised transit tour before returning for your onward flight. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). South Korea uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). This means Seoul and Busan are typically 1 hour ahead of Beijing throughout the year, as neither China nor South Korea currently observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in South Korea 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 South Korea, 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.
