Flights from China to France

Yes, we serve meals on all flights from China to France. You can expect thoughtfully prepared multi-course meals, including regional and international options, tailored to the time of day and route. We also offer special meals that can be requested in advance to meet different dietary preferences. On selected routes and cabins, our Book the Cook service allows you to pre-select from a wider range of main courses before your flight. Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a curated beverage list, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as our signature Singapore Sling cocktail on many services.

For flights between China (CN) and France (FR), our standard policy follows the weight concept. In Economy Class, you typically enjoy a checked baggage allowance starting from 25 kg. In Premium Economy Class, the allowance is higher, usually from 35 kg. In Business Class, you generally have at least 40 kg of checked baggage included. In First Class, you enjoy an even more generous checked baggage allowance. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits, which vary by cabin class. Exact entitlements can differ by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or booking confirmation for the precise allowance that applies to your journey.

Wi-Fi is available on most of our aircraft once the flight reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and 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 Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and general web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

On routes from China to France via Singapore, we offer a selection of First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Not every aircraft on every segment features all cabin classes, so some city pairs may have a different configuration between the China–Singapore and Singapore–Paris sectors. When you book, the cabin options shown for your chosen flights reflect the exact configuration on that route.

Legroom and seat space depend on your chosen cabin. In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with seat widths up to 19 inches depending on aircraft type. In Premium Economy Class, seats offer around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, along with enhanced recline. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, with every seat providing direct aisle access on most aircraft used on these routes. In First Class, you enjoy an even more spacious fully flat bed and generous personal space. Some city pairs may feature different aircraft types and cabin layouts, but all are designed to maximise comfort on long journeys.

Most journeys from China to France connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging transits. For longer layovers, you can join a free city transit tour if your connection time and eligibility criteria are met, allowing you a quick introduction to Singapore’s highlights. For shorter stops, you can stay airside and enjoy facilities such as themed gardens, quiet rest zones, lounges, shops, and dining outlets, with shower facilities and transit hotels also available in selected terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

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

China operates on a single time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8), without daylight saving time. France generally uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means that when it is noon in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, or Chongqing, it is typically 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. in Paris depending on the time of year, so you may want to factor the 6 to 7 hour time difference into your arrival and rest plans.
