Flights from Dhaka (DAC) to Penang (PEN)

In-flight Dining
On the Dhaka–Singapore sector, you will be served a carefully prepared meal in both Business Class and Economy Class, designed to suit the timing of your flight and provide a comfortable dining experience.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on the Dhaka–Singapore sector, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent so we can cater to your dietary needs.

Book the Cook
On eligible flights and cabins for the Dhaka–Singapore sector, you can select your main course in advance with our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and variety on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board. Please note that no meal service is provided for Economy Class passengers on the Singapore–Penang segment due to the short flight time.

For flights between Dhaka and Penang, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class guests may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class guests may check up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

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

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class travellers should 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 it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Dhaka–Singapore and Singapore–Penang sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional travel. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on these aircraft types, giving you ample personal space to work or rest.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official transit tour into the city, which usually requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. This lets you see some key sights before returning to the airport in time for your next flight.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is comfortable and convenient. Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and in some terminals even a swimming pool and cinema, so you can relax, refresh, or stretch your legs between flights.

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

Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and does not observe daylight saving time. Penang follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving. This means Penang is 2 hours ahead of Dhaka throughout the year; for example, when it is 10.00am in Dhaka, it is 12.00pm in Penang.

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