Cabin Baggage Checks
Adherence to the hand-carry baggage allowance will facilitate security checks at the airport as well as minimise the likelihood of injuries caused by luggage falling from overhead compartments due to excess stowage. It will also help ensure the aircraft cabin remains clutter-free, for easier movement by fellow passengers and the crew.
Checks will be carried out on our flights at check-in and prior to boarding. Cabin baggage may be charged excess baggage if it has to be checked-in and the total weight of the check-in bags exceeds the passenger’s allowance. Hand-carry items that exceed the allowed limits will be collected and stored in the aircraft cargo compartment, which could result in unnecessary personal inconvenience.
Singapore Airlines retain the sole discretion to determine, for purposes of your safety or the safety and comfort of other passengers, whether any item of your baggage will be permitted in the cabin or carried as checked baggage.
