You will be served meals and refreshments on both the Hangzhou–Singapore and Singapore–New York sectors, with menus designed for longer journeys and timed to help you settle into the flight.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to meet different dietary needs. Please place your request through Manage Booking before your departure so we can prepare it for your flight.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you can pre-select main courses from a wider menu before you fly using our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and control over your dining experience.

A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available throughout the flight, and our signature Singapore Sling is offered on board.

Checked baggage: Economy Class (2 pieces, each up to 23kg), Premium Economy Class (2 pieces, each up to 23kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 32kg). Each individual piece must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece, up to 7kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg).

Wi-Fi is available once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet on Singapore Airlines flights between Hangzhou, Singapore, and New York. 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. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service 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 offers a seat pitch of 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed 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.

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. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires several hours of connection time to allow for immigration, travel, and sightseeing. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy gardens, rest zones, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options. Airport hotels and relaxation areas are also available if you wish to freshen up or rest. Your time at Singapore (SIN) is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hangzhou follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. New York follows Eastern Time, which is typically UTC-5 from about November to March and UTC-4 from about March to November. This means New York is usually 13 hours behind Hangzhou in winter and 12 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to New York 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–New York) 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 New York 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–New York 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.
