Flights from Riyadh (RUH) to Guangzhou (CAN)

In-flight Dining
You will be served complimentary meals in both Business Class and Economy Class on the Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou sectors, with menus designed to suit different tastes and flight times.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance when you book or via Manage Booking. This helps us cater to your specific dietary requirements on both sectors of your journey.

Book the Cook
On selected flights, eligible customers can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses before departure, securing a preferred option from a curated menu for the longer sector of the trip.

Beverage Service
A wide selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also served on board to passengers who would like to enjoy it responsibly.

For flights between Riyadh and Guangzhou, the weight-concept baggage allowance applies. Checked baggage: Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may check up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Cabin baggage: Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your journey will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Riyadh to Guangzhou once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing good comfort for medium- and long-haul travel. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on both the Airbus A350-900 and the Boeing 787-10, giving you generous personal space for work or rest throughout the journey.

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

In Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may be able to access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If you have several hours in Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining one of the official transit tours into the city, which usually require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These tours allow you to see highlights of Singapore while remaining within the requirements of your transit.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Changi Airport is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest areas, showers, and family-friendly facilities spread across the terminals. You can also explore art installations or relax by the indoor waterfall and greenery in selected terminal zones.

If you prefer privacy, airport hotels and designated quiet zones offer spaces to rest between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Guangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. Guangzhou is therefore 5 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year; when it is 12.00 noon in Riyadh, it is 17.00 in Guangzhou.

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