Check-in
Self Check-in
Check in quickly and easily on the Singapore Airlines website; all you need is your reservation number. Boarding passes can be printed in advance up to 48 hours before flight departure. Even when not checking bags, passengers must proceed to the check-in counter at the airport for passport and travel documentation checks.
Airport Check-in
Depending on your departure point, most airport check-in counters for Singapore Airlines open between 2 and 4 hours before departure. Most check-in points close 40 minutes before departure with Sao Paulo, Copenhagen and Beijing closing one hour prior.
Mobile Check-in
Download the Singapore Airlines mobile app and watch it do all the hard work for you. As soon as it is 48 hours before your flight you will be able to use the app to check-in and download your boarding pass which you can then keep in the palm of your hand. You can also check-in online through Singapore Airlines’ website and either print or download your boarding pass directly from there.
Baggage Allowance
Carry-On
Economy class passengers are allowed 1 piece of carry-on luggage no greater than 7kg in weight. Passengers flying Business, First and Suite classes are allowed 2 carry-on bags, each with a maximum weight of 7kg. Items allowed over and above this allowance are a ladies handbag, laptop or camera bag, and a coat, walking stick and umbrella.
Checked
Singapore Airlines uses the piece system for flights to the U.S. and Brazil and the weight system for all other destinations. Flights to and from the United Kingdom go by the weight system. The amount of weight allowed depends on the class flown and frequent flyer status.
The standard allowance for each class is as follows:
- Economy – 30kg
- Premium Economy - 35kg
- Business – 40kg
- First – 50kg
- Suites – 50kg
KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold frequent flyers are allowed an additional 20kg while Singapore PPS Club members are allowed double the standard allowance.
Bulky Items
Sporting equipment and pets are included in the standard weight allowance. Oversized musical instruments such as guitars and cellos can only be carried on board when travelling in economy class and when a separate seat has been purchased for the instrument.
Infant Baggage
A small infant bag with food or formula and diapers or nappies is allowed in addition to a passenger’s carry-on bag. Infants are also allowed 10kg of checked luggage while collapsible prams or strollers are checked free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Singapore Airlines has a Baggage Tracer System that will show you where it is and allow you to, if necessary, edit where it is delivered. All you need to do is enter your name and File Reference number. If you would like even more rapid service, locate the nearest Singapore Airlines airport office and talk to a representative in person.
The seats in the Premium Economy section are designed to be slightly more comfortable for you as each seat features a 38-inch seat pitch, 18.5 to 19.5-inch width and an 8-inch recline, both slightly more than a standard Economy seat. With Premium Economy, you will be treated with priority from check-in to boarding; this includes being able to select and reserve your meal from the Book the Cook portal all the way up until 24 hours before your departure time!
Yes, no matter your cabin class, you can pre-book your seat! This is completely complimentary unless you have selected to fly with the Economy ‘Lite’ fare. In this case, there will be a small fee that will fluctuate depending on where the seat is. The only exception would be if you are either a PPS Club, KrisFlyer Elite Gold or KrisFlyer Elite Silver member—members have all seat-selection fares waived.
If you are transiting through this tiny island-state, you can discover Singapore’s sights, sounds, and rich heritage with the re-launched Free Singapore Tour! For travellers with at least 5.5 hours to 24 hours to spare till your connecting flight, join one of three free 2.5-hour guided bus tours, which include photo stops at famous landmarks, or a walking tour that showcases Changi Airport's latest development, Jewel.
Singapore Airlines believes in using more sustainable practices, which even includes where it sources its food from. Singapore Airlines serves produce originally grown on a vertical indoor farm called AeroFarms. AeroFarms uses aeroponic technology instead of soil, pesticides or sunlight which allows them to grow a delicious abundance of fresh foods all year-round.
