Flights from Hangzhou (HGH) to Turkey

Yes, meals are served on flights from Hangzhou to Turkey via Singapore. On these long-haul services, you can enjoy in-flight dining with a choice of regionally inspired and international dishes, as well as snacks on longer sectors. Special meals can be requested in advance to suit many dietary needs. On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-order a main course from an expanded menu. A full beverage service, including soft drinks, juices, selected wines, spirits, beers, and our signature Singapore Sling, is also available.

Flights between China and Turkey generally use the weight concept for checked baggage. On the Hangzhou–Singapore–Istanbul route, checked baggage allowances differ by cabin class, with higher allowances for Business Class compared to Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Cabin baggage allowances also vary by cabin, with at least one carry-on bag and a personal item permitted, subject to size and weight limits. You can view the exact allowance for your ticket and cabin class during booking or in your booking details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Hangzhou to Turkey once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; if you are flying in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional usage can be covered by paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Hangzhou–Singapore–Istanbul journey, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class on the Hangzhou–Singapore sector, and Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class on the Singapore–Istanbul sector. Cabin availability may differ by flight and date, so some itineraries may offer a different combination of cabins across the two segments.

On flights from Hangzhou to Turkey, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on the Singapore–Istanbul sector, has about 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat. Cabin layouts can vary slightly between aircraft, but these measurements are a good guide to the legroom and space you can expect.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Turkey. 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 Turkey connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join the free transit tour (subject to eligibility and timing) to briefly explore the city, or enjoy the airport's gardens, swimming pool, and transit hotels. Shorter connections can be comfortably spent airside, with quiet zones, shower facilities, and a wide range of shops and dining options. 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 Istanbul operates on Turkey Time (UTC+3) all year without daylight saving. This means Istanbul is 5 hours behind Hangzhou throughout the year.

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