On flights between Xiamen and Thailand, the weight concept generally applies. In Economy Class, you can usually check in at least 25kg of checked baggage. In Business Class, your checked baggage allowance is higher. Across all cabins, you may also bring cabin baggage on board, subject to size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so please refer to your booking for full details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Xiamen to Thailand once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, provided your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and those who prefer not to register can purchase paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Xiamen to Bangkok and Phuket, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. Both sectors, between Xiamen and Singapore and between Singapore and your chosen city in Thailand, are operated in a two-cabin configuration, so you can expect a consistent choice of cabins throughout your journey.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for medium-haul flights. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft or spacious recliner-style or lie-flat seats on narrowbody jets, designed for both work and rest. Cabin configurations may vary slightly between the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 787-10 aircraft, but all are set up to maximise comfort within each class.

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

Most journeys from Xiamen to Thailand connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, free movies, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. With a longer connection, you may have time to explore additional facilities such as swimming pools, play areas, or pay-per-use lounges. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), while Thailand uses Indochina Time (UTC+7). Bangkok and Phuket are typically 1 hour behind Xiamen throughout the year, as neither China nor Thailand observes daylight saving time.

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