Flights from Shenzhen (SZX) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)

In-flight Dining
On both the Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City sectors, you will be served meals designed to suit the flight duration, with a choice of dishes in Economy Class and enhanced options in Business Class.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals to meet different dietary needs on this route. These must be requested in advance through our website or your booking agent, and will be served on both sectors of your journey.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class customers on the Singapore sector can use our Book the Cook service, pre-ordering from a wider menu before departure. This service allows you to enjoy a specially prepared main course on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your journey.

For flights between Shenzhen and Ho Chi Minh City, our weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 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. The final allowance for your trip 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 on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City sectors, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable space for a regional journey. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with generous seat width and direct aisle access, allowing you to rest, work, or sleep with maximum comfort on both legs of your trip.

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 Shenzhen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight.

If you have enough time between flights, you can join one of the official transit tours from Singapore Changi Airport into the city, which typically require a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter connections, staying airside gives you access to themed gardens, rest areas, and walking routes between terminals.

Singapore Changi Airport also offers family zones, quiet seating corners, and a wide range of dining options, so you can stretch your legs, enjoy a meal, or simply relax between flights. Airport hotels and snooze areas are available if you prefer a proper rest during a longer layover.

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

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving. This means Ho Chi Minh City is 1 hour behind Shenzhen throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City when flying from Shenzhen 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 (Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City) 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Shenzhen–Ho Chi Minh City 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.
