Flights from Beijing (BJS) to India

Yes, meals are served on flights from Beijing to India. On longer sectors such as Beijing to Singapore and onward to major Indian cities, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with Asian and international options. We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different needs. On eligible premium cabins from Singapore, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses. A full beverage service, including juices, soft drinks, wines, spirits, and our signature Singapore Sling, is available on most flights.

On routes between China and India, we generally apply the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one bag within the standard weight allowance. Premium Economy Class, where offered, and Business Class receive higher checked baggage allowances. Customers in Suites and First Class on applicable sectors enjoy our highest checked baggage allowances. All travellers may bring cabin baggage within size and piece limits appropriate to their cabin class. Exact entitlements are shown during booking and on your e-ticket.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Beijing to India once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, provided your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and some fare types can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. Connectivity is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the combined routes between Beijing, Singapore, and India, you may find Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, depending on the aircraft and sector. Wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350-900 typically offer more cabin options, while narrow-body services like the Boeing 737-8 MAX focus on Business Class and Economy Class.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, where available, offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on our wide-body aircraft. First Class and Suites, available on selected Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380-800 services respectively, feature fully flat beds and enhanced personal space. Actual cabin configurations vary by aircraft and route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to India. 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 Beijing to India connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can relax in quiet seating zones, visit indoor gardens, or enjoy the airport"s wide dining and shopping options. With longer transit times, consider exploring additional terminals and attractions within the airport itself. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Most Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad, follow Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30). India does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference remains 2 hours 30 minutes, with Beijing ahead.

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