Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Guangzhou to Italy once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet.

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

Most journeys from Guangzhou to Italy connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can explore the airport's gardens, walking trails, and art, or, time permitting, join an official transit tour of the city when available and eligible. For shorter connections, staying airside gives you access to quiet rest areas, shower facilities, a range of dining options, and retail outlets. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Rome and Milan use Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Italy is normally 7 hours behind Guangzhou in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

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