Flights from Shenzhen (SZX) to Kolkata (CCU)

In-flight Dining
On Shenzhen to Kolkata journeys via Singapore, you will be served meals and snacks in both Business Class and Economy Class, tailored to the time of day and sector length on the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Airbus A350-900.

Special Meals
We offer a selection of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent so we can best accommodate your dietary preferences.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in Business Class can enjoy Book the Cook on sectors where it is available, pre-selecting from a wider menu of main courses to be served on board from Singapore.

Beverage Service
A range of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board for you to enjoy during your flight.

For flights between Shenzhen and Kolkata, our weight-concept policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers enjoy 40kg of checked baggage. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final 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 Shenzhen to Kolkata once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and 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. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Shenzhen to Singapore Boeing 737-8 MAX sector and the Singapore to Kolkata Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for regional flights.

Business Class on both sectors features seats that convert into fully flat beds, with generous width and direct aisle access or easy aisle reach depending on the aircraft layout, giving you ample room to rest and work.

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 Shenzhen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy gardens, art installations, play areas, and quiet zones without leaving the terminal. For longer connections, eligible travellers may join the official free city tour, which typically requires several hours of transit time and sufficient buffer for immigration and security.

Shorter layovers can be comfortably spent exploring terminal amenities, including rest areas, showers in selected facilities, and a wide range of dining and shopping. Clear signposting and efficient staff help you move easily between gates.

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

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Kolkata uses India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 and also does not change seasonally. This means Shenzhen is always 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata when flying from Shenzhen 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 (Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Kolkata) 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 Kolkata 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 Shenzhen–Kolkata 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.
