Flights from Xiamen (XMN) to Shenzhen (SZX)

In-flight Dining
On the Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Shenzhen sectors, you will be served meals designed for the flight duration, with flavours inspired by regional cuisine and international favourites. Meals are thoughtfully timed so you can dine comfortably and then rest.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance to suit your dietary needs or preferences. Please place your request before your flight so our teams can prepare it for you.

Book the Cook
On eligible bookings in premium cabins on this route, you can take advantage of our Book the Cook service, pre-selecting from a wider menu of main courses created by our international culinary panel. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you board.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your flight.

For flights between Xiamen and Shenzhen via Singapore, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class guests may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class guests may bring up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class travellers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class travellers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your specific booking will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Xiamen to Shenzhen via Singapore once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans, which are suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but not for video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Xiamen–Singapore and Singapore–Shenzhen sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, giving you space to sit back and relax. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, combining comfort with privacy for work or rest.

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. Eligible customers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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 Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your layover is long enough, Singapore Changi Airport offers a complimentary transit tour for eligible passengers, typically available for layovers of around 5.5 hours or more. This allows you to briefly explore highlights of the city before returning comfortably to the terminal.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very convenient. You can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, play areas, and paid facilities such as swimming pools or cinemas in selected terminals, as well as a wide choice of dining and shopping.

If you prefer to rest, consider booking an airport hotel or a transit hotel inside the terminal, so you remain close to your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen and Shenzhen are both in the same time zone, China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 throughout the year. Neither city observes daylight saving time, so there is no time difference at any point in the year.

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