Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Shanghai to Hangzhou once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

In Business Class on both Shanghai to Singapore and Singapore to Hangzhou flights, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul configured aircraft, giving you ample space to rest. On selected Shanghai to Singapore flights, First Class is also available, featuring a fully flat bed and a particularly spacious personal area.

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 access lounges at Singapore (SIN) such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, subject to their cabin class and membership 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 Shanghai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, with clear signage, garden spaces, and many dining options that make even a short layover pleasant. If your time is limited, you can explore indoor gardens, rest areas, or small play zones without leaving your terminal.

With a longer layover and sufficient time before your next flight, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and minimum connection times. Alternatively, consider visiting one of the airport's themed gardens, taking a short walk through the terminal, or relaxing at a transit hotel.

Shops, eateries, and rest areas are spread across the terminals, so you can tailor your layover to how you feel on the day, whether that means stretching your legs or simply finding a quiet corner. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shanghai and Hangzhou are in the same time zone, both observing China Standard Time (UTC+8). There is no daylight saving time adjustment in either city, so the time remains the same in Shanghai and Hangzhou throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hangzhou Xiaoshan 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–Hangzhou) 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 Hangzhou 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–Hangzhou 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.
