For Kolkata to Beijing flights, our weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg in weight.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact allowance will be 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 Kolkata to Beijing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing sectors, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing good comfort for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, giving you space to rest or work throughout your flights.

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

At Singapore (SIN), eligible travellers may be able to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and frequent flyer status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. With a longer connection, you can join an official free transit tour into the city if your layover meets the minimum time requirement, typically from around 5.5 to 6 hours. This allows you to see key sights before returning for your next flight.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore themed gardens, rest areas, and play zones, or relax in quiet seating spaces between walks. Some terminals feature attractions such as indoor greenery, art installations, and a wide variety of dining outlets.

If you prefer to rest, consider booking an airport hotel or transit hotel for a few hours, subject to availability. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 all year. Beijing follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Beijing is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Beijing when flying from Kolkata 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 (Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Beijing) 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 Beijing 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 Kolkata–Beijing 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.
