Wi Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Singapore to China once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. 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. Non members and additional users can choose from paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On itineraries that include a connecting flight between Singapore and China, lounge access may be available during your layover. Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Singapore to China. 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.

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.

If your journey from Singapore to China includes a layover, how you spend the time depends on the length of your connection and the airport facilities. At major hubs such as Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy quiet areas, gardens, family zones, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping, or simply relax in a lounge if you are eligible. For shorter layovers, it is usually best to remain airside and make use of these amenities, while for longer connections you may consider rest areas or an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Singapore uses Singapore Time (UTC+8), while most major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xiamen, and Hangzhou, use China Standard Time (UTC+8). This means there is typically no time difference between Singapore and these cities throughout the year, and neither Singapore nor China observes daylight saving time.

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