Flights from Guangzhou (CAN) to United States Of America

Yes, meals are served on all Singapore Airlines flights from Guangzhou to the United States of America via Singapore. On these long-haul routes, you can enjoy in-flight dining with thoughtfully designed multi-course meals tailored to your cabin class and route.
If you have specific dietary requirements, you can request a special meal in advance, which we will prepare to meet your needs and serve alongside the standard menu options.
On many eligible sectors, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service in premium cabins, allowing you to select from a wider menu before departure, and a full beverage service is available on board, including our signature Singapore Sling cocktail.

Flights between China and the United States of America generally follow the piece concept for checked baggage. On these routes, your allowance depends on your cabin class and your frequent flyer status.
In Economy Class, you can usually check at least one piece of baggage, while Premium Economy Class and Business Class guests enjoy a higher checked baggage allowance, with additional pieces or weight for eligible KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status holders.
All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin class, and we recommend checking your booking confirmation or our website for the exact allowance that applies to your ticket.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Guangzhou to the United States of America once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.
If you are not a KrisFlyer member, or prefer additional data options, paid Wi-Fi plans are available on board and can be purchased using your personal device after connecting to the in-flight network.
The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers so that the network can be shared fairly among passengers.

Across routes from Guangzhou to Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco via Singapore, you can travel in Business Class and Economy Class on the Guangzhou–Singapore sectors.
On the long-haul Singapore–United States of America sectors operated by the Airbus A350-900, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.
Cabin configurations may vary slightly by aircraft and route, so we recommend checking your specific flight during booking to confirm the available cabins.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with seat widths up to 19 inches depending on aircraft type, designed to give you comfortable legroom on long journeys.
In Premium Economy Class, available on the Airbus A350-900 sectors between Singapore and the United States of America, seats offer around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, with additional recline and leg support.
In Business Class across these routes, seats convert into fully flat beds, and every seat provides direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900, allowing you to rest and move about the cabin with ease, though exact layouts can differ slightly by aircraft.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to the United States of America. 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.

On flights from Guangzhou to the United States of America, your layover is typically at Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer connections. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the transit area.
If you have more time, you may explore additional terminals, experience attractions such as garden spaces and play zones, or relax in a lounge or airport hotel for a shower and rest between long-haul sectors.
Whatever the length of your connection, you will find clear signage, efficient security and immigration processes, and a calm atmosphere, ensuring that your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Guangzhou is in China Standard Time (UTC+8). Seattle and San Francisco generally observe Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter and UTC−7 from roughly March to early November, so they are usually 16 hours behind Guangzhou in winter and 15 hours behind in summer.
Los Angeles also follows Pacific Time, so it shares the same offset from Guangzhou as Seattle and San Francisco, with a one-hour difference between winter and summer due to daylight saving time.
New York observes Eastern Time, which is UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 from roughly March to early November, making it typically 13 hours behind Guangzhou in winter and 12 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in the United States of America 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 the United States of America, 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.
