Flights from India to Shenzhen (SZX)

On flights from Mumbai to Shenzhen via Singapore, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with regionally inspired and international dishes, along with bread, dessert, and snacks depending on flight time. We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs. On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, Book the Cook lets you pre-select your main course before you fly. A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer, plus our signature Singapore Sling on many routes.

On India–China routes, Singapore Airlines generally uses the weight-concept for checked baggage. Allowances vary by cabin class, with higher limits in Business Class and Suites compared with Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. All passengers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin. For exact entitlements linked to your booking, please refer to your e-ticket or the Manage Booking section on our website.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from India to Shenzhen once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; 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. Non-members and additional usage can be supported by paid Wi-Fi plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the India–Shenzhen network, you will find Suites and Premium Economy Class on selected Airbus A380-800 and Airbus A350-900 services between India and Singapore, with Business Class and Economy Class available on all routes. Sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 787-10 offer Business Class and Economy Class. The exact mix of cabins depends on your departure city and the aircraft scheduled for your flights.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width for comfort on longer journeys. Premium Economy Class, available on selected India–Singapore sectors, offers about 38-inch seat pitch and up to 20-inch seat width with a wider recline. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, and every seat has direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900 and Airbus A380-800. Suites, available on some Airbus A380-800 services between India and Singapore, provide a fully flat bed in a private enclosed space. Cabin layouts can vary by aircraft and route.

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

Most journeys from India to Shenzhen connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter stops, you can enjoy indoor gardens, play areas for children, rest zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping within the terminals. With a longer layover that meets eligibility, you may be able to join a free transit tour to see highlights of Singapore before returning to the airport. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Most major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad, follow Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Shenzhen is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of all these Indian cities throughout the year, as neither uses daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shenzhen 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 Shenzhen, 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.
