Flights from Hangzhou (HGH) to Sri Lanka

Yes, meals are served on flights from Hangzhou to Sri Lanka. In-flight dining is included in both Business Class and Economy Class, with a choice of main courses and regional flavours on each sector. You can request special meals in advance to suit medical or other non-religious dietary needs. On selected routes and cabins, you may be able to pre-select from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service ex-Singapore. A full beverage service, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a selection of alcoholic beverages such as the Singapore Sling, is also available.

Flights between China and Sri Lanka generally follow the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, you can typically check in baggage up to 25kg. For Business Class, you can usually check in baggage up to 40kg. In addition, you may bring cabin baggage on board, with one piece in Economy Class and two pieces in Business Class, each within the size and weight limits shown during booking and on your e-ticket. Exact allowances are confirmed on your ticket, as they may vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Hangzhou to Sri Lanka once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited access; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. 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 Hangzhou–Singapore–Colombo route, you can travel in Business Class or Economy Class. Both sectors between Hangzhou and Singapore, and between Singapore and Colombo, are normally operated with the same two-cabin configuration on the Airbus A350-900, though aircraft deployment may occasionally vary.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for support on longer flights. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900, giving you ample personal space for rest and work. Cabin configurations are similar across both sectors to and from Singapore.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Sri Lanka. 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 Hangzhou to Sri Lanka connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive airside facilities. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, showers, and a wide range of dining and shopping without leaving the transit zone. With a longer connection, you may join one of Changi's complimentary transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or relax in an airport hotel or lounge. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), while Colombo observes Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and does not use daylight saving time. This means Colombo is 2 hours 30 minutes behind Hangzhou throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka, 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.
