Oversized Musical Instruments
Oversized musical instruments can only be carried onboard the cabin if you purchase an extra seat to accommodate it.

If you book seat for the instrument(s) in Economy Class, you must also travel in Economy Class. Suites, First and Business Class seats do not have accessible seat frame to secure large musical instruments on the floor. You can travel in a different cabin class, as your musical instrument(s), if you are traveling in a group, and there are other members in your traveling party accompanying your musical instrument(s) in Economy class.

Large musical items (e.g. cello, guitars, etc) must be placed on the floor and be properly secured by seat belts to the seat frame. At least 4 infant seat belts are required. First/Business class seats do not have accessible seat frame to secure the large instruments on the floor.

The Maximum weight and dimension allowable is shown below:
  • Weight       : 75 kg
  • Dimension  : Height  - 61”
                         Width  - 19” (Based on armrest to armrest seat width)

Note:

  • A Double Bass is not allowed onboard as it exceeds the height limit set above.
  • Although guitars are normally less than 7 kg (that is within the cabin weight allowance), it may be considered as  oversized due to its (dimensions) ; and may not be allowed in the cabin if no extra seat(s)have been purchased for it.  If you do not plan to purchase an extra seat, guitars should be packed in a suitable hard case and checked-in to avoid damage.


Articles Allowed Onboard
All airline members of the International Air transport Association (IATA) have agreed to observe the following baggage regulations. You may carry onboard the articles listed below free of charge, over and above your free baggage allowance (subject to local country specific restrictions, if any):
  • A lady’s handbag
  • An overcoat
  • An umbrella or walking stick
  • A laptop or notebook computer
  • A small camera
  • A reasonable amount of reading material for the flight
  • Infant’s food for consumption in flight and infant’s carrying basket
  • A pair of crutches and/or other prosthetic devices for the passenger’s use provided the passenger is dependent upon them


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.
