Flights from Zurich (ZRH) to Chongqing (CKG)

In-flight Dining
On both the Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration, with thoughtfully designed menus in every cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to suit medical and personal preferences. You can request these in advance through our Manage Booking portal so we can prepare them for your flights.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins can pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses with our Book the Cook service on the long-haul sector, subject to route and cabin eligibility. This lets you choose your preferred dish before you travel.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your flights, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your journey.

For flights between Zurich and Chongqing, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Standard and Flexi), Premium Economy Class (35kg), Business Class (40kg), and First Class (50kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class and First Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact 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 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans.

The connection is designed for messaging, email, and basic browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend you plan any heavy online use for when you arrive.

On the Zurich to Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, and Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access, and First Class features a fully flat bed and generous personal space.

On the Singapore to Chongqing sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer a comfortable pitch comparable to other medium-haul services, while Business Class provides a larger seat with more recline and additional personal space. Exact configurations may vary slightly by aircraft.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may relax in The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership status.

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 Zurich but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to both short and longer layovers. With enough time between flights, you can join an official free city tour, usually available for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, giving you a glimpse of Singapore before returning for your onward flight.

If you prefer to stay airside or have a shorter connection, the airport offers themed gardens, rest areas, snooze zones, and entertainment spaces where you can relax. There are also shower facilities, quiet seating, and a wide range of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals.

Whether you are stretching your legs in a garden or unwinding at your gate, the terminals are clearly signposted, and transfer processes are streamlined. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Chongqing uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round.

From late October to late March, Chongqing is 7 hours ahead of Zurich. During daylight saving time, from late March to late October, Chongqing is 6 hours ahead.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport when flying from Zurich 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 (Zurich–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing) 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 Chongqing 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 Zurich–Chongqing 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.
