On flights between Italy and China, our baggage policy generally follows the weight concept, with allowances depending on your cabin class and KrisFlyer membership status. For Economy Class, you can usually check in at least one piece of checked baggage within a total weight allowance, plus a cabin baggage allowance that typically includes one carry-on bag and a small personal item within specified size and weight limits. Premium Economy Class offers a higher checked baggage weight allowance than Economy Class, along with an enhanced cabin baggage allowance.

Exact allowances can vary by fare type and route, so please check your e-ticket or our baggage information page before you travel.

Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board.

Most flights from Italy to China connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable and engaging transits. For longer layovers, you can join the free Singapore city transit tour, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights outside the airport. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, children play zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options, or simply relax at your departure gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in China 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 China, subject to your ticket conditions and availability.

Italy operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) typically from late March to late October. Most major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Xiamen, use China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, without daylight saving. This means that when Italy is on CET in winter, China is 7 hours ahead of Italian time, and when Italy moves to CEST in summer, China is 6 hours ahead.
