For journeys between Saudi Arabia and China, the weight-concept baggage policy usually applies. In Economy Class, you typically enjoy at least 25kg of checked baggage, while Business Class offers a higher checked baggage allowance. In addition, you may bring cabin baggage on board, with one standard piece in Economy Class and two in Business Class, within our size and weight limits. Exact allowances are shown on your ticket and may vary based on your KrisFlyer status and fare type.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Airbus A350-900 flights once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number at least 1.5 hours before departure to benefit. Non-members can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Riyadh to Beijing route via Singapore, the Airbus A350-900 offers Business Class and Economy Class. Business Class provides a more spacious seat, enhanced privacy, and premium service, while Economy Class offers ergonomically designed seating and the same high standard of Singapore Airlines hospitality. Cabin configurations remain consistent across both sectors of your journey.

On flights between Saudi Arabia and Beijing, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on long journeys. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, giving you ample personal space to rest or work. As the same Airbus A350-900 operates both sectors, you can expect a consistent cabin layout throughout your trip.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at Singapore Changi Airport on connections from Saudi Arabia to Beijing. 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.

Most journeys from Saudi Arabia to Beijing connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy and relaxing transfers. For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore the themed gardens, art installations, free rest areas, and family-friendly play zones, or enjoy a meal in one of the many dining outlets. With a longer connection, you can consider joining an official transit tour to see highlights of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3), while Beijing operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year. Beijing is therefore 5 hours ahead of Riyadh, with no daylight saving time changes in either location.

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