A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices and soft drinks, is available on board, along with coffee and tea. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling cocktail during your flight, subject to availability and local regulations.

In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

On both the Guangzhou to Singapore and Singapore to Shanghai sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for good comfort on regional flights. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on these services.

Specific seat layouts can vary slightly between the Boeing 787-10, Boeing 737-8 MAX, and Airbus A350-900, but all are designed to balance personal space, storage, and privacy appropriate to each cabin.

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.

Eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore, depending on cabin and status.

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 Guangzhou but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers, with themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly facilities located across its terminals. For shorter connections, you can stay airside, stretch your legs, and enjoy the airport’s dining and shopping options.

For longer layovers of at least about 5.5 to 6 hours, you may be able to join an official transit tour of Singapore, giving you a glimpse of the city before returning in time for your next flight. Quiet zones, lounges, and airport hotels provide places to rest if you prefer to remain in the terminal.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Guangzhou and Shanghai are both in the same time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8). There is no time difference between the two cities at any time of the year, and neither observes daylight saving time, which makes planning your flights and appointments straightforward.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai when flying from Guangzhou via Singapore 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 (Guangzhou–Singapore and Singapore–Shanghai) 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 Shanghai 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 Guangzhou–Shanghai 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.
