For flights between Xiamen and Taipei, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Economy Class Lite and Value fares, 30kg for Economy Class Standard and Flexi fares, 35kg for Premium Economy Class, 40kg for Business Class, and 50kg for Suites or First Class. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and 2 pieces each up to 7kg in Business Class, Suites, or First Class. Your exact allowance is stated on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Boeing 737-8 MAX from Xiamen to Singapore and the Airbus A350-900 from Singapore to Taipei, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on both sectors, with every seat offering direct aisle access for added comfort and privacy.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, 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. For example, if you fly Economy from Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

For a layover in Singapore, you can enjoy Singapore Changi Airport’s gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly facilities without leaving the terminal. With a longer connection, consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours, which usually require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring themed gardens, art installations, and quiet zones near your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8, and Taipei follows Taiwan Time, also UTC+8. There is no daylight saving time in either location, so the time is the same in Xiamen and Taipei throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Taipei when flying from Xiamen via Singapore (SIN) on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Taipei) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Taipei is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Xiamen–Taipei trip, 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.
