Flights between China (CN) and Germany (DE) use the weight concept for checked baggage. If you are travelling in Economy Class, you typically have a checked baggage allowance starting from 25 kg. In Premium Economy Class, your allowance is typically higher than in Economy Class. In Business Class and First Class, you enjoy an increased checked baggage allowance compared with the other cabins. In all cabins, you may bring at least one piece of cabin baggage on board, subject to size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your fare type and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our baggage information before you travel.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once cruising above 10,000 feet on routes from China to Germany. KrisFlyer members enjoy free 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 to enjoy this benefit. Non-members and additional devices can use paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and general web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across routes from China to Germany via Singapore, you will find Economy Class and Premium Economy Class on all long-haul sectors, with Business Class available on every route. First Class is offered on selected flights between Singapore and Germany or on specific sectors between China and Singapore, depending on the aircraft and schedule. Some city pairs may feature all four cabins, while others offer Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class only, so cabin options can vary by departure city and flight.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing good comfort on long journeys. In Premium Economy Class, seats offer about 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, with extra recline and leg support. In Business Class, you enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft, giving you space to work, dine, and rest. In First Class, you have an even more spacious fully flat bed and enhanced privacy. Cabin configurations can differ by aircraft type, so legroom and layout may vary slightly between routes.

Most journeys from China to Germany connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, quiet zones, shower facilities, play areas, and extensive shopping and dining options that make even short layovers comfortable. For longer transit times, you can join a free city tour, relax in a pay-per-use lounge, or visit attractions within the airport such as themed gardens and viewing decks. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

China operates on a single time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8), for cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou. Germany uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in cities like Frankfurt and Munich, switching to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) typically from late March to late October. This means Germany is normally 7 hours behind China in winter, and 6 hours behind China when daylight saving time is in effect.

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