Flights from Europe to Shenzhen (SZX)

You will be served complimentary meals on all Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Shenzhen, including both the long-haul sector to Singapore and the regional flight to Shenzhen. Menus are designed to showcase a mix of international favourites and Asian flavours, with meals timed to the length and schedule of each sector.
Special meals are available to meet a variety of dietary needs if requested in advance, and on selected routes and cabins you can use our Book the Cook service from Singapore and certain European gateways to pre-select main courses before you fly. This gives you extra choice and peace of mind, especially on longer journeys.
Throughout your trip, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees, as well as a curated range of wines and spirits. Our signature Singapore Sling cocktail is also available on board, adding a touch of Singapore heritage to your journey.

On flights from Europe to Shenzhen, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage between Europe and China, with allowances varying by cabin class and fare type. In Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites, your checked baggage entitlement increases with each cabin, giving you more flexibility when travelling for longer trips.
You can also bring cabin baggage on board, with size and weight limits that differ by cabin class but are designed to ensure comfort and safety in the cabin. Typically, customers in our premium cabins may bring more or larger pieces than those in Economy Class.
For the exact baggage allowance for your specific ticket, including any additional benefits for KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, please refer to your e-ticket or the Baggage section on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft operating between Europe and Singapore, and on selected aircraft between Singapore and Shenzhen, once the aircraft has reached above 10,000 feet. As a KrisFlyer member, you can enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi on eligible plans; to benefit from this in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.
If you are not a KrisFlyer member or if your fare type does not include complimentary access, you can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board using a credit or debit card. These plans are suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic web browsing.
For technical reasons, onboard connectivity does not support high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers. Connection quality may also vary during your flight due to satellite coverage and network demand.

Because aircraft and configurations can differ by route and flight, not all cabin classes are available on every sector or every day. When you book, our website will show the cabin options available for your chosen dates and flights.

Most journeys from Europe to Shenzhen connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well known for its comfortable transit experience and variety of things to do. For longer layovers, you can explore the airport s themed gardens, rest areas, and art installations, or visit the rooftop pool and viewing decks in certain terminals.
If your connection time allows and border regulations suit your plans, you can consider joining one of Changi s official city transit options or planning a short independent visit into the city, returning in good time for your onward flight. For shorter layovers, it is often more relaxing to stay airside, enjoy a meal, freshen up, or rest in a quiet zone.
Wherever you choose to spend your time, clear wayfinding and frequent shuttle services between terminals make it easy to move around. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen operates on China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Most Western and Central European countries we serve, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark, follow daylight saving time, so the time difference with Shenzhen changes during the year.
During European winter time (late October to late March), cities such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Barcelona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Zurich, and Amsterdam are typically 7 hours behind Shenzhen (for example, 10:00 in Shenzhen is 03:00 on the same day in these cities). In summer time (late March to late October), the difference usually reduces to 6 hours.
Turkey, including Istanbul, generally stays on UTC+3 year-round, which means Shenzhen is usually 5 hours ahead of Istanbul. Always check the local time and any seasonal clock changes shortly before you travel to plan calls, meetings, and rest on arrival.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shenzhen 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. At check-in, our staff will confirm that your bags are tagged to your final destination and advise whether you need to collect them at any point along the way.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Shenzhen, 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. Any additional accommodation, visas, or entry requirements for the stopover city will be your responsibility.
