For Economy Class, you can usually check in up to 25 kg.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Chongqing to South Korea 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.

From Chongqing to South Korea, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. Both the Chongqing–Singapore sectors and the onward flights to Seoul or Busan offer these two cabins, though the exact seat design and layout may differ slightly between the Boeing 737-8 MAX and the Boeing 787-10.

In Economy Class, you can typically expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. In Business Class, you enjoy a fully flat bed on long-haul configured aircraft or a generous recline with ample legroom and dedicated space on regional aircraft, with every seat offering enhanced comfort and personal storage.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Korea. 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 Chongqing to South Korea connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour, subject to timing and eligibility, or head into Jewel Changi Airport to see its indoor waterfall, walking trails, and family attractions. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, swimming pool access in selected terminals, and a wide choice of food and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). South Korea, including Seoul and Busan, uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). This means South Korea is 1 hour ahead of Chongqing throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

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