Flights from Sri Lanka to Shenzhen (SZX)

Yes, on flights from Colombo to Shenzhen via Singapore, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with thoughtfully prepared meals and a selection of snacks, inspired by regional and international flavours. You can request special meals in advance for many dietary needs, and on eligible sectors you can pre-select your main course with our Book the Cook service in premium cabins. A range of beverages, including soft drinks, juices, tea, coffee, and our signature Singapore Sling cocktail, is available to complement your meal.

Flights between Sri Lanka and China use our standard weight-concept baggage policy. In Economy Class, you usually enjoy a generous checked baggage allowance, while Business Class offers a higher checked baggage limit. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Sri Lanka to Shenzhen once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, as long as your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional usage can be covered with 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 routes from Colombo to Shenzhen via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. Aircraft and cabin configurations may differ between the Colombo–Singapore and Singapore–Shenzhen sectors, but these two cabin classes are available across the journey.

In Economy Class, you can expect around 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable legroom on long journeys. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft where available, giving you space to rest and sleep. Cabin configurations can vary slightly between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft operating these routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Sri Lanka to Shenzhen. 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 Sri Lanka to Shenzhen connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For a quick transit, stay airside to enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, showers, and abundant dining and shopping. With a longer connection, you can consider joining one of the airport’s organised transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30), while Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Shenzhen is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Shenzhen 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 Shenzhen, 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.
