Flights from Hanoi (HAN) to China

Yes, meals are served on flights from Hanoi to China via Singapore. On each sector, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with a choice of main courses inspired by regional flavours, alongside bread, dessert, and light bites on selected flights. You can request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs, and on eligible sectors and cabins you may be able to pre-select your main course through our Book the Cook service. A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages, with our signature Singapore Sling offered on many flights.

Flights between Vietnam and China via Singapore use our standard weight-based baggage concept. In Economy Class, you can usually check at least 25 kg of checked baggage. In Business Class, a higher checked baggage allowance applies. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and piece limits appropriate to their cabin. Exact allowances are shown during booking and on your e-ticket, as they can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight passes above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; 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, or those needing additional access, can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Hanoi to China via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class across all sectors. Aircraft and cabin layouts may differ by route, with Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft offering their own Business Class and Economy Class seating designs.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the specific aircraft. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft and generous legroom on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, ensuring space to work, dine, and rest comfortably. Cabins may vary slightly between Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, but all are designed for comfort on regional and medium-haul journeys.

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

Your journey from Hanoi to China includes a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, shower facilities, children’s play areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping, all within easy walking distance. With a longer connection, you might join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, or simply relax in a lounge, take a swim at the airport pool, or watch a film at the cinema. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hanoi follows Indochina Time (UTC+7). Mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xiamen, uses a single time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8). This means China is typically one hour ahead of Hanoi throughout the year, with no daylight saving time in either location.

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.
