Flights from Shenzhen (SZX) to Italy

Yes, meals are served on flights from Shenzhen to Italy. On these routes, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with freshly prepared meals inspired by both Asian and international flavours, along with light bites on longer sectors. You can request special meals in advance to suit your dietary needs. On eligible sectors and in selected premium cabins, you may also be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select your main course before departure. A full beverage service is available, including a selection of wines, spirits, soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on many flights.

Flights between Shenzhen and Italy follow our standard international weight or piece concept, depending on your itinerary, with allowances varying by cabin class. In Economy Class, you can typically bring at least one piece of checked baggage plus cabin baggage within the permitted limits. Premium Economy Class offers a higher checked baggage allowance than Economy Class, while Business Class provides an even more generous checked baggage allowance, along with cabin baggage. Exact allowances are shown during booking and on your e-ticket, and we recommend checking these before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Shenzhen to Italy once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can choose from paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Shenzhen to Singapore sector, flights offer Business Class and Economy Class. On the onward Singapore to Rome and Singapore to Milan sectors, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class on the Airbus A350-900. Cabin configurations may therefore differ between the regional and long-haul segments of your journey.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on the Singapore to Italy sectors, offers a seat pitch of about 38 inches with up to 20 inches of seat width. Business Class across these routes provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space, and every seat has direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft. As cabin layouts can vary slightly between the Boeing 737-8 MAX and the Airbus A350-900, your exact seat features may differ by sector.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Italy. 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 flights from Shenzhen to Italy connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities for a comfortable transit. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer connections, you may join a free transit tour of Singapore if your timings and eligibility align, or relax at an airport hotel or pay-per-use lounge. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Rome and Milan generally follow Central European Time (UTC+1). From late March to late October, they observe daylight saving time (Central European Summer Time, UTC+2). This means Italy is typically 7 hours behind Shenzhen in winter and 6 hours behind in summer.

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