In Premium Economy Class, where offered, the allowance is higher. In Business Class and First Class, you enjoy an even more generous checked baggage allowance. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and piece limits, varying by cabin class. Exact allowances depend on your fare 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 China to Singapore once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, provided your membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non members and guests may purchase Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across routes from China to Singapore, you can find Economy Class and Business Class on all services. Premium Economy Class and First Class are available on selected flights operated by the Boeing 777-300ER between Beijing or Shanghai and Singapore. Cabin configurations vary by aircraft type and route, so when you book you will see which cabin classes are offered on your chosen flight.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with seat width up to 19 inches, depending on the aircraft.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from China to Singapore. 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.

The Next Segment Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport.

If your journey includes a connection at a major hub such as Singapore Changi Airport before or after flights from China, you can enjoy indoor gardens, walking trails, rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer daytime transits, you may be able to join a free city tour when schedules allow and immigration requirements are met, while for shorter layovers it is more convenient to stay airside and relax in quiet zones or lounges. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing all follow China Standard Time (UTC+8). Singapore also observes Singapore Time (UTC+8). There is no daylight saving time in either country, so the time is the same year round between mainland China and Singapore.

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