In-flight Dining
On your flights between Shanghai, Singapore, and Busan, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day and sector length, with a focus on balanced flavours and quality ingredients in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent. This helps us prepare a meal that aligns with your specific dietary needs.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors in premium cabins, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider range of main courses. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you board.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold beverages is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your journey.

For flights between Shanghai and Busan, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite/Value fares, 30kg on Standard/Flexi), Premium Economy Class (35kg), Business Class (40kg), and First Class (50kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while First Class and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this.

Non-members can purchase access plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Shanghai to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and First Class offers a fully flat bed and enhanced personal space.

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 Shanghai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, including themed gardens, rest areas, children’s play zones, and quiet spaces for relaxation, making shorter layovers comfortable without leaving the terminal. You can also enjoy a variety of dining and shopping options spread across the terminals.

For longer layovers, you may consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, which generally require at least 5–6 hours of available transit time and a qualifying itinerary. These guided trips allow you to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight.

If you prefer to stay airside, airport hotels, snooze zones, and spa services are available for rest and refreshment. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shanghai operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Busan uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9), also without daylight saving time. This means Busan is 1 hour ahead of Shanghai throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Shanghai, it is 13.00 in Busan.

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