Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and flights on this route, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you travel.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling on board, along with a curated range of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

For Rome–Shanghai flights, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite and Value fares, 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). 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 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 the Airbus A350-900 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members 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.

On the Rome–Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class seats offer a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

On the Singapore–Shanghai sector, Economy Class provides the same 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class again offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, allowing you to rest comfortably on the shorter regional flight.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

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

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside, explore the terminals, relax in seating zones, or visit the various attractions located within the airport.

If you have a longer layover of at least several hours, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. Alternatively, airport hotels, snooze areas, and spa facilities offer restful options between flights.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Rome follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) roughly from late March to late October. Shanghai uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. This means Shanghai is 7 hours ahead of Rome in winter, and 6 hours ahead during summer time in Rome.

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