On routes between China (CN) and Indonesia (ID), Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept for checked baggage. For flights on these routes, Economy Class customers usually enjoy a checked baggage allowance starting from 25 kg, Premium Economy Class customers from 35 kg, and Business Class and First Class customers from 40 kg, with exact entitlements depending on your fare type and KrisFlyer status. For cabin baggage, you can typically bring one piece in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class and two pieces in Business Class and First Class, within the permitted size and weight limits for each cabin. Please refer to your e-ticket or our baggage information page before you travel, as allowances can vary by fare and route.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight is above 10,000 feet on routes between China and Indonesia. KrisFlyer members can enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi when their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure, including in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class. Non-members, or those who prefer not to register, can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the combined sectors from China to Indonesia via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers a range of cabin classes. Many routes feature First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, especially on flights operated by the Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A350-900, and Boeing 787-10. On flights operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, the configuration usually includes Business Class and Economy Class. The exact cabin classes on your journey will depend on the aircraft scheduled for each sector between your chosen departure city in China, Singapore, and your destination in Indonesia.

On routes between China and Indonesia, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional and medium-haul flights.

In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed on wide-body aircraft with direct aisle access at every seat, while regional Business Class on the Boeing 737-8 MAX provides generous recline and ample legroom. First Class, available on selected Boeing 777-300ER flights, features a fully flat bed and a very spacious seat. Exact configurations can vary slightly between aircraft types, but all are designed to maximise comfort for your journey.

Most itineraries from China to Indonesia connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy garden spaces, quiet rest areas, play zones for children, plentiful dining options, and extensive shopping. On longer layovers, you can consider joining one of the airport transit experiences or stepping into the city on your own, taking advantage of efficient transport links into central Singapore. Whether you prefer to rest, shop, explore, or work, you will find facilities to match your pace, and 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 Indonesia 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 Indonesia, 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.

Most of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Xiamen, follows a single time zone: China Standard Time (UTC+8) with no daylight saving time. In Indonesia, Jakarta, Surabaya, and most of Java as well as parts of Sumatra use Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), which is 1 hour behind China. Denpasar Bali uses Central Indonesia Time (UTC+8), the same as China, so there is usually no time difference when you fly from China to Bali. Medan, in northern Sumatra, also follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), typically 1 hour behind China. Indonesia does not currently observe daylight saving, so these differences remain consistent throughout the year.
