Flights from Adelaide (ADL) to Shanghai (PVG)

In-flight Dining
We serve complimentary meals in both Business Class and Economy Class on the Adelaide–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai sectors, with menus designed to suit different tastes and flight times.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals for specific dietary needs, which you can request through your booking before you travel so we can prepare them in advance.

Book the Cook
If you are travelling in Business Class, you can take advantage of our Book the Cook service on eligible sectors, pre-selecting your main course from a wider menu before your flight.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, along with a range of other beverages.

For flights between Adelaide and Shanghai, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. 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 one piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring two pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact 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 Adelaide to Shanghai once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Adelaide–Singapore Boeing 787-10 sector and the Singapore–Shanghai Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable space for the journey.

In Business Class on both sectors, you will enjoy a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access from every seat, allowing you to rest more easily on both flights.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer 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 Adelaide but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable layovers, with indoor gardens, quiet zones, play areas, and a wide selection of shops and dining options within each terminal. You can also find rest areas and airport hotels if you prefer a private space to refresh.

For longer layovers, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights to allow for immigration and transport. Shorter connections are best spent enjoying the airport’s facilities airside so you are close to your departure gate.

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

Adelaide operates on Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) and observes daylight saving, switching to Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10:30) roughly from October to early April. Shanghai uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. Shanghai is about 1.5 hours behind Adelaide in winter and 2.5 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai when flying from Adelaide 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 (Adelaide–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 Adelaide–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.
