On flights between the Netherlands (EU region) and China, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage. For routes where Business Class is available, the typical checked baggage allowance is higher than in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, with exact limits shown during booking and on your e ticket. Cabin baggage allowances apply across all cabins, with one main cabin bag plus a personal item allowed in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class, and a higher cabin baggage entitlement in Business Class. For the most accurate allowance for your specific Amsterdam to China itinerary and cabin, please refer to your booking details or our baggage information page before you travel.

Wi Fi is progressively available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft operating between Amsterdam, Singapore, and onward to China, and service begins once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free unlimited Wi Fi across all cabin classes, including Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. If you are not a KrisFlyer member or prefer not to register, you can purchase a plan on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Amsterdam to China via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Long haul sectors between Amsterdam and Singapore typically feature all three cabins, while the onward flights from Singapore to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing may have different cabin configurations depending on the aircraft type and schedule. When you book, you will see which cabin classes are available on each segment of your journey.

On these routes, Economy Class seats are designed with a pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, giving you space to sit back on long journeys. Premium Economy Class offers a pitch of about 38 inches and up to 20 inches of seat width, along with greater recline and leg support for extra comfort. In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on the long haul sectors, with generous personal space for working or resting. Please note that exact configurations and seat layouts can vary slightly by aircraft type between Amsterdam and Singapore and on the onward flights to Chinese cities.

On journeys from Amsterdam to China, your layover is typically at Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for both short and longer connections. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, playgrounds, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer layovers, you may consider the free city tour offered at Changi, subject to eligibility and timing, or relax at an airport hotel or pay in lounge. 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. 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.

The Netherlands operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) typically from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing, uses a single standard time zone, China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8), and does not observe daylight saving time. This means China is usually 7 hours ahead of the Netherlands during CET in winter, and 6 hours ahead during CEST in summer.
