In-flight Dining
On the Cairns to Singapore and Singapore to Cebu sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day, with options inspired by regional and international flavours in both Business Class and Economy Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which you can request in advance to meet specific dietary preferences or requirements. These should be ordered before your flight through our website or your booking agent.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in Business Class on selected sectors of this route may be able to pre-order from our Book the Cook menu, giving you a wider choice of main courses prepared specially for your flight.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board in all cabins.

For flights between Cairns and Cebu, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your journey will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

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

On both the Cairns–Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector and the Singapore–Cebu Boeing 737-8 MAX sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access for every seat on both legs of the journey.

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 Cairns but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore (SIN).

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for layovers, including themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones. For longer connections, you can consider joining the airport’s official Free Singapore Tour, which usually requires at least a 5.5-hour layover, allowing you to see city highlights without managing your own arrangements.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find quiet zones, transit hotels, spa services, and playgrounds, as well as a wide choice of dining and shopping options across the terminals. Clear signage and efficient security make it easy to move between gates and areas during your stop.

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

Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10 and does not observe daylight saving time. Cebu follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Cebu is 2 hours behind Cairns throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Mactan-Cebu International Airport when flying from Cairns 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 (Cairns–Singapore and Singapore–Cebu) 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 Cebu 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 Cairns–Cebu 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.
