We cater for a wide range of dietary needs through our Special Meals programme, which you can request in advance when you book or manage your booking. On selected cabins and routes, you can also use our Book the Cook service from Singapore and some European gateways, allowing you to reserve specific main courses before departure.

On flights from Europe to Chongqing, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage on itineraries that start in Europe and end in China. Your specific allowance depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can usually check at least one or two pieces of baggage within a set weight per piece. In Business Class, First Class, and Suites, your allowance is higher, with additional pieces and weight included. All customers may bring cabin baggage, with one main bag plus a small personal item, subject to size and weight limits.

Because allowances can differ slightly by route, cabin, and frequent flyer status, we recommend checking your e ticket or our website's baggage section before you travel. This ensures you know the exact checked baggage and cabin baggage limits that apply to your booking.

KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi in all cabins, including Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. If you are not a member or do not add your number in time, you can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board.

The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, so you can stay in touch and manage travel plans. For a consistent experience for everyone, Wi-Fi does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

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

Most flights from Europe to Chongqing route via Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make connections feel smooth and unhurried. For longer layovers, you can join one of the airport's free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and registration, giving you a brief look at Singapore before your onward flight.

If you prefer to stay airside, the terminals offer indoor gardens, walking routes, rest areas, showers, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Quiet zones, relaxation spaces, and pay per use lounges help you rest between the long haul and regional sectors of your trip.

For shorter connections, you can simply follow the clearly marked signs to your next gate, pausing for a snack or a walk to stretch your legs. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Most of the European countries served on this route, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands, use Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) typically from late March to late October.

The United Kingdom operates on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (UTC+1) in the summer months, while Turkey operates on UTC+3 year round without seasonal changes. This means that, depending on the time of year, Chongqing is normally 7 or 8 hours ahead of the UK, 6 or 7 hours ahead of most central European countries, and 5 hours ahead of Turkey.

When planning your trip and arranging meetings or transfers, it is helpful to double check the time difference close to your departure date. This is especially useful around the weeks when European countries move into or out of daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chongqing 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.

At check in, our staff will tag your checked baggage through to Chongqing and confirm your baggage receipts, so you usually do not need to collect your bags in Singapore. You should still keep essential items, medication, and valuables in your cabin baggage for easy access during the journey.

If your itinerary involves separate tickets or different airlines without an agreement, you may need to collect and recheck your baggage at the transit point. Our airport teams can advise you on the specific arrangements that apply to your booking on the day.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Chongqing, 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.

Adding a stopover can be a good way to rest between the long haul flight from Europe and the shorter regional sector to Chongqing. You can choose to spend a night or more in Singapore to explore the city at a more relaxed pace.

Stopover options, including permitted durations and any additional charges, vary by fare type and route, so it is best to confirm the details before you finalise your booking.
