Flights between Switzerland and China use the weight-concept baggage allowance. In Economy Class, you can usually check at least 25 kg of checked baggage. In Premium Economy Class, the allowance is higher, and in Business Class and First Class it is higher again. All travellers may also bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your ticket details or booking confirmation.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, including in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and some fare types can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From Switzerland, the long-haul Zurich to Singapore sector offers First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.

In Business Class, seats convert to fully flat beds with direct aisle access on long-haul flights and spacious reclining seats on regional routes, depending on the aircraft.

Most journeys from Switzerland to Shenzhen connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For layovers of around five hours or more, you can join one of the airport's free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and availability. For shorter connections, stay airside and explore the terminal gardens, butterfly and orchid displays, quiet rest zones, and swimming pool, or simply enjoy the wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Zurich follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2 from late March to late October). Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) year-round. Shenzhen is 7 hours ahead of Zurich during winter and 6 hours ahead during summer daylight saving time.

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