Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance for specific dietary needs or preferences. Please make your selection when you book or via Manage Booking, so we can prepare it for your flight.

Eligible passengers in premium cabins on this route can pre-select from an expanded Book the Cook menu when departing from selected airports, adding more choice to the dishes served on board.

For flights between Amsterdam and Shanghai, the weight concept applies. 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. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class (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 Amsterdam to Shanghai once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. 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 Amsterdam–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai Airbus A350-900 services, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on the Amsterdam–Singapore sector, offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class on both sectors provides a fully flat bed with every seat offering direct aisle access.

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. Eligible customers may be invited to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the airport's free city tour programme, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This lets you see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. For shorter transits, you can stay airside and enjoy amenities such as themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and relaxation zones throughout the terminals. Depending on the terminal, there may also be facilities like swimming pools or cinemas to help you unwind. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

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

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai Hongqiao or Shanghai Pudong airport, as indicated on your ticket, when flying from Amsterdam 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 (Amsterdam–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 Amsterdam–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.
