Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines services between Shanghai and Milan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both sectors of this route, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Shanghai–Singapore flights and all Singapore–Milan flights, offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class on every sector features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, while First Class on selected Boeing 777-300ER services between Shanghai and Singapore offers a fully flat bed and additional personal space.

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 Shanghai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may access facilities such as The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

If your layover is long enough, Singapore Changi Airport offers an official transit tour programme, typically requiring at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, so you may briefly explore the city. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining. Airport hotels and snooze zones help you recharge between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shanghai follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Milan follows Central European Time (UTC+1) from late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Milan is typically 7 hours behind Shanghai in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Milan when flying from Shanghai 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 (Shanghai–Singapore and Singapore–Milan) 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 Milan 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 Shanghai–Milan 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.
