Flights between China and the United Arab Emirates generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class, you can usually check a combined weight of bags within a set limit, while Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class allow higher checked baggage limits. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight guidelines, with higher allowances in premium cabins. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your booking confirmation or our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Shenzhen to the United Arab Emirates once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you fly in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. 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 Shenzhen–Singapore sector, you can travel in Business Class or Economy Class on the Boeing 737-8 MAX. On the Singapore–Dubai sector, you can choose from First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class on the Boeing 777-300ER. The exact combination of cabins available for your full journey depends on the flights you select when booking.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on the Singapore–Dubai sector, offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on widebody sectors, designed for rest on longer flights. First Class on the Singapore–Dubai sector also features a fully flat bed and additional personal space. Cabin layouts may vary slightly by aircraft, but these measurements are a good guide to the legroom you can expect.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to United Arab Emirates. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

The "Next Segment" Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

Most flights from Shenzhen to the United Arab Emirates connect via Singapore Changi Airport. If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining the free transit tour when available, or explore airport attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and relaxation zones. For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you easy access to showers, quiet resting areas, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Dubai, and other major cities in the United Arab Emirates, follow Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4). There is no daylight saving time in either location, so the time difference remains four hours behind Shenzhen throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in United Arab Emirates 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 United Arab Emirates, 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.
