Flights from Europe to Hangzhou (HGH)

You will be served meals on all Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Hangzhou, including both the long-haul sector to Singapore and the onward flight. Our in-flight dining features regionally inspired and international dishes, with menus designed for each cabin. You can request special meals to suit many dietary needs by adding your preference before departure.
On selected routes and cabins, you can also use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses created by acclaimed chefs, giving you more choice on longer flights. Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a full beverage service including juices, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as the signature Singapore Sling on many flights.
Snacks or additional light bites are available on longer sectors, so you can adjust to time zones more gently. Cabin crew are happy to help with water refills and hot drinks between meal services to keep you comfortable.

On flights from Europe to Hangzhou, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage on itineraries between Europe and China. The exact allowance depends on your cabin class and fare type, but in all cases you may bring both checked baggage and cabin baggage.
Across routes in this region, cabins include Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Higher cabins such as Suites, First Class, and Business Class receive more generous checked baggage allowances than Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Cabin baggage limits also vary by cabin, with additional pieces or higher weight typically permitted in Premium cabins.
Your precise allowance is shown during booking and on your e-ticket. We recommend checking your itinerary before you travel, as allowances can vary by route, fare, and frequent flyer status.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Hangzhou once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please make sure your KrisFlyer membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this benefit.
If you are not a KrisFlyer member or prefer not to link your booking, you can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard, subject to availability on your aircraft. Connections are typically suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic web browsing.
For the best experience, we recommend avoiding data-heavy activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, as these are not supported and may reduce performance for you and other passengers.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Europe to Hangzhou. 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 Hangzhou connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed to make transits smooth and enjoyable. For longer layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, art installations, attractions like the indoor waterfall at Jewel, and a wide choice of dining options without leaving the airport.
If your connection is shorter, you may prefer to stay near your departure gate area, relax in a quiet zone, or, if eligible, unwind in a lounge with showers, food, and workspaces. Airport signage and information counters make it easy to navigate between terminals.
Whether your layover is brief or extended, you can stretch your legs, freshen up, and enjoy the facilities so that the journey feels more restful. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hangzhou follows 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, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, and Italy, use UTC or UTC+1 in winter and move one hour forward for daylight saving time, typically from late March to late October. This means the time difference between these countries and Hangzhou is usually 7 to 8 hours in winter and 6 to 7 hours in summer.
Turkey, including Istanbul, operates on UTC+3 all year round without seasonal changes. As a result, Hangzhou is typically 5 hours ahead of Turkey. Because time differences can vary slightly around the start and end dates of daylight saving in Europe, it is wise to check the local time close to your departure date.
When planning your journey, consider the time difference for rest and meeting schedules, and adjust your sleep pattern a little before departure if possible. Arriving with a plan for short naps and daylight exposure in Hangzhou can help you adapt more comfortably.

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