In Premium Economy Class, where offered on some Airbus A350-900 sectors, the usual allowance is up to 30kg. In Business Class, the typical allowance is up to 40kg. Cabin baggage allowances apply in addition to checked baggage and vary by cabin class. Please refer to your ticket and our baggage page for exact entitlements for your booking.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Chongqing to India once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

From Chongqing to Singapore on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. On onward flights from Singapore to India, Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 787-10 services offer Business Class and Economy Class, while selected Airbus A350-900 services to cities such as Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad also feature Premium Economy Class between Singapore and India.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. In Premium Economy Class, available on some Airbus A350-900 sectors between Singapore and India, seats offer about 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width. In Business Class across these routes, seats convert to a fully flat bed, with every seat offering direct aisle access on wide-body aircraft. Cabin layouts and exact seat dimensions may vary slightly by aircraft type and route.

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

On flights from Chongqing to India, your layover is at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights such as the waterfront and key landmarks. For shorter stops, stay airside to explore indoor gardens, art installations, snooze areas, and a wide selection of shops and eateries, or relax in a lounge if eligible. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Chongqing follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). India uses a single time zone, Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), for cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad. India does not observe daylight saving time, so India is always 2.5 hours behind Chongqing.

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