Premium Economy Class and Business Class enjoy higher piece allowances, and First Class receives the most generous allowance. Cabin baggage limits vary by cabin, with higher limits for Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket for detailed information.

Non-members and additional users 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 reliably.

Most journeys from Guangzhou to Switzerland connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, to see highlights before returning airside. For shorter connections, stay within the terminals to enjoy indoor gardens, curated shopping, dining options, rest areas, and, in selected terminals, swimming and spa facilities or transit hotels for a few hours of sleep. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Zurich follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Zurich is typically 7 hours behind Guangzhou in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

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.
