Flights from Delhi (DEL) to China

Yes, meals are served on Singapore Airlines flights from Delhi to China. On these medium- and long-haul journeys via Singapore, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with regionally inspired dishes and international options tailored to the time of day. We offer special meals that can be requested in advance to suit various dietary needs. On eligible sectors and cabins, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select a main course from a wider menu. A full beverage service is available, including freshly brewed coffee, tea, juices, and a selection of alcoholic drinks, along with our signature Singapore Sling on most routes.

On flights between India and China via Singapore, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you can typically check in at least 25kg; in Premium Economy Class, at least 35kg; and in Business Class, at least 40kg. Suites passengers usually enjoy at least 50kg. For cabin baggage, most customers may bring one piece on board, while Suites and Business Class customers may bring two pieces, within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your final ticketed itinerary and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so please check your e-ticket for precise details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Delhi 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 some fare types 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.

Across the Delhi–Singapore–China routes, you can travel in Suites, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class. The Delhi–Singapore sector on the Airbus A380-800 offers Suites, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, while the Boeing 787-10 and onward flights to Chinese cities on the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX offer Business Class and Economy Class. Cabin configurations may vary by route and aircraft, so the combination of cabins available on your full journey can differ depending on the cities and flights you choose.

On these routes, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches, with seat widths up to 19 inches, designed for all-day comfort. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Delhi–Singapore flights on the Airbus A380-800, offers around 38 inches of pitch and seat widths up to 20 inches. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft, giving you ample personal space. Suites on the Airbus A380-800 feature a fully flat bed and a private suite environment. Exact layout and seat design may vary between aircraft types and specific routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections 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.

Most flights from Delhi to China connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy airside attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, free cinema screenings, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may be able to join a transit tour of Singapore, subject to timing and eligibility, or relax in an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Delhi operates on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). All the listed Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Xiamen, use China Standard Time (UTC+8:00). China does not observe daylight saving time, so it is consistently 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Delhi throughout the year.

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.
