For flights between Hangzhou and Melbourne, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite/Value fares: 25kg; Standard/Flexi: 30kg), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines services between Hangzhou and Melbourne once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Hangzhou–Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access. On the Singapore–Melbourne sector, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class provide the same generous seat dimensions, and Business Class also features fully flat beds with direct aisle access.

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 access the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play zones, making shorter layovers comfortable without leaving the terminal. You can also enjoy a variety of dining and shopping options across the terminals.

For longer layovers, you may wish to join an official transit tour of Singapore if your schedule meets the minimum layover time required, giving you a glimpse of the citys skyline, waterfront, and key districts before returning to the airport. Dedicated transit hotels and rest areas are available if you prefer to stay airside.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hangzhou follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Melbourne follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Melbourne is typically 2 hours ahead of Hangzhou during standard time, and 3 hours ahead during daylight saving time.

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