In-flight Dining
On Shanghai–Singapore and Singapore–Munich sectors, you will be served carefully planned meals appropriate to the time of day, with options designed to suit a range of tastes in every cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals for specific dietary needs, which you can request in advance through your booking or our website so we can prepare it for your flight.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on this route can use our Book the Cook service from selected departure points, allowing you to choose from a wider menu of main courses before you fly.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including our signature Singapore Sling, which is available on board to all cabins.

For flights between Shanghai and Munich, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Premium Economy Class passengers may check 35kg; Business Class passengers may check 40kg; First Class passengers may check 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, while First Class and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final 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 from Shanghai to Munich 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. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On sectors where Economy Class is available, you can expect a seat pitch of 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, offered on selected Shanghai–Singapore flights and on Singapore–Munich, provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. In Business Class on both sectors, you have a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat. On Boeing 777-300ER services between Shanghai and Singapore, First Class offers a spacious fully flat bed.

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.

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 Shanghai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

With a layover in Singapore, you can enjoy the extensive facilities at Singapore Changi Airport, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly zones. For longer connections, you may join an official city transit tour if your schedule meets the minimum layover time and other programme conditions. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in seating zones, or freshening up at airport rest facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

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

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Munich Airport when flying from Shanghai 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 (Shanghai–Singapore and Singapore–Munich) 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 Munich 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 Shanghai–Munich 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.
