We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent so we can cater to your specific dietary needs.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors in Business Class, you can pre-select your main course from our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and control over your in-flight dining experience.

For flights between Dhaka and Shanghai, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance 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 Dhaka to Shanghai once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Business Class travellers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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

On both the Boeing 787-10 and Airbus A350-900 operating between Dhaka, Singapore, and Shanghai, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing good legroom for regional and medium-haul flights.

Business Class on these aircraft features a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access from every seat, giving you ample room to stretch out and rest on both sectors of your 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 Dhaka but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities for every layover length, from themed gardens and art installations to quiet resting zones and transit hotels. With sufficient connection time, you may also consider joining an official free city tour, which usually requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours.

For shorter transits, you can stay airside and explore the terminals, where you will find indoor greenery, play areas, and a variety of dining and shopping options. Rest zones and shower facilities help you feel refreshed before your next sector.

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

Dhaka operates on Bangladesh Standard Time, which is UTC+6 and does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Shanghai is therefore 2 hours ahead of Dhaka throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shanghai Hongqiao or Shanghai Pudong airport, as indicated on your ticket, when flying from Dhaka 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 (Dhaka–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 Dhaka–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.
