In all cabins, you can enjoy curated menus that showcase both international and regional dishes, with meals served at set times during the journey and snacks available on selected flights.

On routes between Indonesia (ID) and China (CN), Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage. The exact allowance depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. For Economy Class, a standard checked baggage allowance by weight applies, while Business Class and First Class enjoy higher weight allowances. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Jakarta routes, offers an allowance between Economy Class and Business Class. Cabin baggage allowances also vary by cabin class, with all customers permitted at least one cabin bag within specified size and weight limits. You can view the precise allowances for your booking on your e-ticket or on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight has reached above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members can enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi in all cabins, including Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as the membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members, or those who prefer not to link their membership, can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so you may wish to download heavy content before you fly.

Across routes from Indonesia to China, the available cabin classes vary by aircraft and city pair. From Jakarta, you can find First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class on selected services via Singapore. From Denpasar Bali, Surabaya, and Medan, flights are typically operated in a two-cabin layout offering Business Class and Economy Class. When planning your journey, you will see the available cabin classes for each flight during the booking process.

Legroom and seat space depend on the cabin class and specific aircraft on your route. In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on longer regional journeys. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Jakarta services, offers about a 38-inch seat pitch and up to a 20-inch seat width, with extra recline and leg support. In Business Class, seats convert into a fully flat bed, and every seat generally has direct aisle access on widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER. First Class, available on some Jakarta connections, features a fully flat bed and an enhanced personal space. Aircraft and cabin layouts can differ between flights, so you can review the seat map for your chosen service during booking.

Most routes from Indonesia to China connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your layover. If you have a longer break and meet the eligibility criteria, you may join one of the airport s free transit tours into the city, subject to the current operating schedule and entry requirements. For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you time to explore themed gardens, rest areas, playgrounds, art installations, and swimming or spa facilities in selected terminals. You can also visit restaurants, cafes, and shops, or relax in a lounge if you have access. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

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

Indonesia spans several time zones, while many major Chinese cities share a single standard time. Western Indonesia, including Jakarta and Medan, follows UTC+7, while central locations such as Denpasar Bali are on UTC+8, and eastern parts of Indonesia use UTC+9. China operates on a single time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8), for cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Chongqing. This means that Jakarta and Medan are typically 1 hour behind Beijing and Shanghai, while Denpasar Bali has the same local time as most Chinese cities. Neither country widely observes daylight saving time, so this difference remains stable throughout the year.
