Flights from Spain to China

Yes, you are served meals on flights from Spain to China. Our in-flight dining includes thoughtfully planned menus with a choice of main courses, and you can request special meals in advance to suit your needs.

Throughout the journey, you can also enjoy a full beverage service, including soft drinks, juices, wines, and our signature Singapore Sling on selected flights.

Flights between Spain (ES) and China (CN) use the weight-concept baggage allowance. For Economy Class, the usual checked baggage allowance starts from 25 kg. In Premium Economy Class, it is typically 35 kg, and in Business Class it is usually 40 kg. Cabin baggage allowances apply on top of this, with one or two pieces permitted depending on cabin class, within size and weight limits. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so you should always check your e-ticket or the Manage Booking section for your specific allowance.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, you should add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to benefit. 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 reliably.

On the Spain to China routes via Singapore, you can travel in Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class. The long-haul Barcelona to Singapore sector offers the full widebody configuration, while the onward Singapore to China sector may use either a widebody or narrowbody aircraft, so the exact layout and seat types can differ slightly between city pairs.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft. Premium Economy Class offers approximately 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width, with additional recline and leg support on many seats. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, and every seat has direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and most widebody aircraft. As some Singapore to China flights use different aircraft types, cabin configurations and specific seat layouts may vary by route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Spain to China. 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 itineraries from Spain to China connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for different layover lengths. For shorter connections, you can relax in seating areas, explore indoor gardens, use rest zones, or browse shops and dining options. For longer layovers, you might enjoy attractions such as themed gardens, entertainment zones, or even consider a city transit tour if time and entry requirements allow. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Spain generally operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and observes daylight saving time, switching to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from late March to late October. Mainland China uses a single time zone, China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8), without daylight saving. This means that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xiamen, and Chongqing are normally 7 hours ahead of Spain in winter and 6 hours ahead when Spain is on summer time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in China 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 China, 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.
