Flights from Kolkata (CCU) to Shanghai (PVG)

In-flight Dining
On the Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the flight time and route, with a selection of main courses and accompaniments in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals to suit different dietary needs on this route. You can request these in advance through our Manage Booking portal so that we can confirm availability for your flight.

Book the Cook
On selected Singapore Airlines flights, eligible customers in premium cabins can pre-order from an extensive Book the Cook menu. Simply choose your preferred dish ahead of time and it will be prepared specially for you on board where the service is available.

Beverage Service
A range of hot and cold drinks is served throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, so you can enjoy a classic cocktail during your journey if you wish.

For flights between Kolkata and Shanghai, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

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

Non-members can purchase access plans on board. The connection is designed for messaging, email, and basic browsing, and does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai Airbus A350-900 sectors, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing good comfort for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, giving you ample space to work, dine, or rest.

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 at 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 Kolkata but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for its indoor gardens, themed zones, and quiet areas, making even short layovers comfortable. For longer connections, you can enjoy features such as viewing decks, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and retail options without leaving the terminal.

If your layover is long enough to meet the minimum time required by the airport’s official transit tour programme, you may consider joining a city tour to see highlights of Singapore between flights. Otherwise, many travellers choose to stay airside and take advantage of the airport’s facilities, including shower options and transit hotels.

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

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8:00 and also does not change seasonally. Shanghai is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai airports when flying from Kolkata 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 (Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai) 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 Shanghai 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 Kolkata–Shanghai 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.
