Flights from China to Perth (PER)

Yes, meals are served on flights from China to Perth. From Xiamen, and on similar routes from other Chinese cities, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with a choice of regional and international dishes, designed for the time of day and route. We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs, and on eligible sectors you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses.

On routes between China and Australia, we generally apply the piece concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one piece of baggage within a standard weight limit per piece. Premium Economy Class, where available on selected Beijing and Shanghai sectors, and Business Class, typically enjoy higher checked baggage allowances, while First Class on selected Boeing 777-300ER flights between China and Singapore offers our most generous allowance. Cabin baggage allowances differ by cabin class, but all passengers may bring at least one cabin bag within size and weight limits. For exact allowances for your ticket, please refer to your booking confirmation or our baggage policy page.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this benefit. Non-members, or those wishing to use additional data, 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.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from China to Perth.

Your journey from China to Perth includes a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a free transit tour of Singapore, subject to timing and eligibility, allowing you to see highlights of the city between flights. For shorter stays, stay airside to enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, shops, and dining options across the terminals, or refresh with a shower or a quick spa treatment. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Perth operates on Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Most major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou, use China Standard Time (UTC+8). This means there is usually no time difference between these Chinese cities and Perth, although you will still notice a change in daylight hours and seasonal patterns.

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