Flights between China and India generally follow the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, the typical allowance is 25kg. Premium Economy Class, where offered, usually allows 35kg. Business Class and First Class normally include higher allowances, often 40kg or more. Cabin baggage limits apply across all cabins, with at least one standard-sized bag plus a personal item, subject to weight and size limits. Exact entitlements can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket for confirmed allowances.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from China to Delhi once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the China–Delhi routes via Singapore, you can travel in Economy Class on all flights, with Business Class available from every origin city. From Beijing and Shanghai, selected flights also offer Premium Economy Class and First Class on the long-haul sectors to and from Singapore, while the Singapore–Delhi sector typically features Business Class and Economy Class. Cabin configurations may vary by aircraft and route.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on selected sectors such as some flights between China and Singapore, offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft. First Class, available on some Boeing 777-300ER services between China and Singapore, also offers a fully flat bed with extra space and privacy. Cabin layouts may differ slightly depending on the aircraft type operating your flight.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from China to Delhi, primarily at Singapore Changi Airport. 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 China to Delhi connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited for both short and longer layovers. With a longer connection, you can join the free guided transit tours of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter waits, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, play areas, and a wide choice of dining. Quiet zones and rest areas help you recharge between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Hangzhou all follow China Standard Time (UTC+8). Delhi observes India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Delhi is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes behind all these Chinese cities year-round, as neither China nor India observes daylight saving time.

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