Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Delhi to Istanbul once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers required to add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

Premium Economy Class, where available, offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width for added comfort.

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 Delhi but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make layovers comfortable and enjoyable, including themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces. If you have a layover of at least 5.5 hours, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to the airport's current programme.

For shorter connections, you can stay airside and explore the terminals, where you will find art installations, free rest zones, and a variety of dining and shopping options. Selected terminals also feature attractions such as indoor gardens and play areas that are ideal for stretching your legs.

If you prefer to rest between flights, consider using airport hotels or nap facilities located within or near the terminals, which allow you to recharge in privacy. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Delhi operates on India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Istanbul operates on a time zone that is UTC+3 throughout the year. This means Istanbul is 2.5 hours behind Delhi at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Istanbul Airport when flying from Delhi 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 (Delhi–Singapore and Singapore–Istanbul) 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 Istanbul 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 Delhi–Istanbul 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.
