Flights from Europe to Beijing (BJS)

You will be served meals on all Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Beijing, including both the long-haul sector to Singapore and the onward flight to Beijing. Menus are designed to reflect regional flavours and international favourites, with meals served according to the time of day and flight duration.

We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary preferences and needs. On selected cabins and routes, you can also enjoy our Book the Cook service from Singapore, allowing you to pre-select main courses prepared to your taste.

Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a full beverage service with juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a curated selection of wines and spirits. Our signature Singapore Sling cocktail is available on board, helping to make your time in the air feel relaxed and enjoyable.

On flights from Europe to Beijing, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage between Europe and China. The exact allowance depends on your cabin class and KrisFlyer membership tier, and it will be clearly shown during booking and on your ticket.

In Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, and Business Class, you can bring checked baggage up to a specified total weight, with Business Class offering a higher allowance than Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Cabins such as First Class and Suites, which are available on selected Europe to Singapore sectors, include an even more generous checked baggage allowance when part of the same itinerary.

All customers are also entitled to bring cabin baggage, with the number of pieces and size limits depending on the cabin you are travelling in. We recommend checking the latest baggage policy on our website before you fly, as rules may be updated from time to time.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft operating between Europe and Beijing, and it is typically activated once the aircraft passes 10,000 feet. You can stay connected for messaging, email, and basic web browsing during your journey.

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 your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. If you are not a KrisFlyer member or do not link your membership in time, you can purchase a Wi-Fi plan on board.

The connection is designed for light use, so it supports text-based apps and standard browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers. Coverage and performance may vary slightly depending on the aircraft and route segment.

Across the Europe to Singapore sectors on your journey to Beijing, you can choose from a wide range of cabin classes depending on your departure city and selected flight. Many flights on the Airbus A350-900 offer Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, providing a strong choice for both business and leisure travel.

Selected services from London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Zurich on the Boeing 777-300ER offer First Class in addition to Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. From London and Frankfurt, some flights on the Airbus A380-800 provide Suites, together with Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.

From Singapore to Beijing, flights on the Airbus A350-900 are typically operated with Business Class and Economy Class cabins. This means that, while you may enjoy Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class on the long-haul sector from Europe to Singapore, the onward sector to Beijing will offer a choice between Business Class and Economy Class.

On flights from Europe to Beijing, Economy Class seats typically offer around 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, giving you a comfortable amount of legroom and space for long journeys. Premium Economy Class seats provide about 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, together with a more generous recline and additional comfort features.

In Business Class on the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER, and Airbus A380-800, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat on most long-haul configurations, offering ample room to stretch out and sleep. First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER also features a fully flat bed with even more space and privacy.

Suites on the Airbus A380-800, available on selected Europe to Singapore flights, offer a fully flat bed within a private suite-style cabin. As cabin layouts can vary slightly between aircraft and routes, specific seat maps and details for your flight can be viewed during booking or in Manage Booking.

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

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.

Most journeys from Europe to Beijing with Singapore Airlines include a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transit time feel relaxed and refreshing. For longer layovers, you can explore the many themed gardens, visit attractions such as the indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport, or take a shower and rest in a transit hotel.

If your connection is shorter, staying within your terminal is usually the easiest option. You can enjoy comfortable seating, browse shops, or sit down for a meal or drink while keeping an eye on your departure gate and flight information screens.

Singapore Changi Airport also offers guided city transit tours on eligible layovers, subject to timing and entry requirements, giving you a taste of the city between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing operates on China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Many countries in western and central Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, use UTC or UTC+1 in winter and move one hour forward in summer.

During European winter time, Beijing is typically 7 to 8 hours ahead of these cities, depending on whether your home location is on UTC or UTC+1. For example, when it is 12:00 noon in London (UTC), it is 20:00 in Beijing, while when it is 12:00 noon in Paris or Berlin (UTC+1), it is 19:00 in Beijing.

In European summer time, usually from late March to late October, clocks move one hour forward, so the difference shortens by one hour. During this period, Beijing is generally 6 to 7 hours ahead of major European cities, so a little advance planning can help you adjust your sleep and meal times to minimise jet lag.

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