Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines Beijing–Singapore–Riyadh services 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.

On Beijing–Singapore and Singapore–Riyadh flights in Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. In Premium Economy Class, available on selected Beijing–Singapore Boeing 777-300ER services, seats offer around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width.

On Beijing–Singapore flights operated by the Boeing 777-300ER, First Class offers a spacious seat that converts into a 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 Beijing but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use lounges such as 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 at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy a wide range of airside attractions, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and children’s play spaces. For longer connections, you may be able to join an official transit tour of the city if your layover meets the minimum required hours.

Shorter layovers are well spent exploring Changi Airport’s terminals, where you will find art installations, relaxation zones, and a variety of dining and retail options. Airport hotels and nap facilities are available if you prefer to rest between flights.

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

Beijing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and also does not change clocks seasonally. Riyadh is therefore 5 hours behind Beijing throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh when flying from Beijing 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 (Beijing–Singapore and Singapore–Riyadh) 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 Riyadh 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 Beijing–Riyadh 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.
