Flights from Shenzhen (SZX) to Switzerland

Yes, meals are served on flights from Shenzhen to Switzerland. On both the regional flight between Shenzhen and Singapore and the long-haul sector to Zurich, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with thoughtfully prepared dishes inspired by Asian and international flavours. Special meals are available on request before departure to suit a range of dietary needs. On selected cabins and flights, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service from Singapore, allowing you to choose your main course in advance. A full beverage service, including soft drinks, juices, wine, beer, and spirits, is available, along with our signature Singapore Sling on many flights.

Flights between Shenzhen and Switzerland follow the piece concept for checked baggage, as they operate between China and Europe. In Economy Class, you are generally allowed at least one checked baggage piece, while Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class enjoy higher checked baggage allowances. All cabins include a cabin baggage allowance sized to fit in the overhead locker or under the seat in front of you. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website before travelling.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Shenzhen to Switzerland once the aircraft is 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 and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From Shenzhen to Singapore, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. From Singapore to Zurich on the Boeing 777-300ER, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class are available. Your overall journey can therefore include different cabin combinations across the two sectors.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class on the Singapore to Zurich sector offers around 38 inches of seat pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on the long-haul sector. First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER also provides a fully flat bed and a spacious, private seating area. Exact configurations and layouts can vary slightly between aircraft and routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Switzerland. 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 flights from Shenzhen to Switzerland connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, rest areas, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer connections, you may join an official transit tour of Singapore when available and if your timing allows. If you prefer to rest, airport hotels and nap facilities can make your stop more comfortable. 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). Switzerland uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Switzerland is typically 7 hours behind Shenzhen in winter, and 6 hours behind during daylight saving time.

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