For flights between Riyadh and Beijing, the weight concept applies for checked baggage. In Economy Class, Lite and Value fares include 25kg, while Standard and Flexi fares include 30kg. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance will be 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 Riyadh to Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members.

On both the Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900, helping you arrive feeling more rested.

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.

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 Riyadh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities for both short and longer layovers. If your connection time allows, you can explore indoor gardens, themed zones, rest areas, and play spaces, or enjoy a meal at one of the many dining options across the terminals.

For longer layovers, you may wish to take advantage of airport attractions such as viewing galleries, walking trails, and relaxation areas, all connected by clear signage and an efficient Skytrain system. Transit hotels and rest zones are also available if you prefer to sleep or freshen up between flights.

Your time at Singapore (SIN) is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time, which is UTC+3 and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing operates on China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not use daylight saving time. Beijing is therefore 5 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Riyadh 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 (Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) 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 Beijing 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 Riyadh–Beijing 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.
