Flights from China to Hyderabad (HYD)

Yes, you will enjoy our in-flight dining on the journey from Xiamen to Hyderabad via Singapore. Depending on your flight timing and cabin, you can look forward to multi-course meals or thoughtfully prepared refreshments, with a choice of Asian and international flavours. Special meals can be requested in advance to suit many dietary needs. On selected routes and cabins, you may be able to use our Book the Cook service from Singapore for an expanded menu of main courses. Throughout the flight, we offer a range of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as the signature Singapore Sling on many services.

On flights between China and India, we generally follow the weight-concept baggage policy. In Economy Class, you can usually check in a combined weight allowance, and in Premium Economy Class, Business Class, and First Class, higher checked baggage allowances apply. All travellers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your fare type, cabin class, and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your ticket or booking confirmation for the specific details for your journey.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft has climbed 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 onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From China to Singapore, aircraft on some routes offer First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class, while others feature Business Class and Economy Class only. From Singapore to Hyderabad, flights operate with Business Class and Economy Class. The exact cabin combination on your journey depends on your chosen departure city and flight.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. In Premium Economy Class, where available on selected China–Singapore sectors, seats offer around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on widebody aircraft and spacious reclining seats with generous legroom on narrowbody flights, with direct aisle access on many services. First Class, available on some Boeing 777-300ER flights between selected Chinese cities and Singapore, features a fully flat bed with extra personal space. Exact configurations vary by aircraft type and route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from China to Hyderabad. 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 Hyderabad connect via Singapore Changi Airport. With a longer layover, you can join one of the airport’s free transit tours or explore its themed gardens, art, and entertainment zones. For shorter connections, stay airside to enjoy quiet lounges, relaxation areas, shower facilities, and varied dining and shopping. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Most major cities in China, including Xiamen, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, follow China Standard Time (UTC+8) with no daylight saving. Hyderabad follows Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving. Hyderabad is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes behind these Chinese cities throughout the year.

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