For flights between Phuket and Riyadh, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

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

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines services on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Phuket to Singapore sector, operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed on many seats, designed for short- to medium-haul comfort.

On the Singapore to Riyadh sector, operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class offers a similar 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, providing added space and privacy on the longer flight.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for transit passengers. With a longer layover of around 5.5 hours or more, you can consider joining an official city tour, subject to availability and entry requirements. For shorter layovers, you can explore the airport’s themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones.

There are also transit hotels and snooze areas if you prefer to rest between flights, along with many dining and shopping options across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait – it is an integral part of your journey.

At Phuket International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may relax in partner lounges such as The Coral Executive Lounge before departing for Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class or frequent flyer status, or you may be able to purchase access directly from the lounge operator.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access Singapore Airlines-operated lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on your class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Staff at the airport will direct you to the appropriate lounge.

Phuket follows Thailand time, which is UTC+7 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh observes Arabia Standard Time, which is UTC+3 and also does not change seasonally. This means Riyadh is 4 hours behind Phuket throughout the year.

We recommend arriving at Phuket International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration before you relax, shop, or visit a lounge ahead of your journey.

Many travellers transiting through Singapore Changi Airport do not require a visa if they remain airside, but requirements depend on your nationality and itinerary. We recommend checking with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy, and reviewing our website, before you travel.

When you check in at Phuket for Riyadh, our team will usually tag your checked baggage through to your final destination. On arrival at Singapore Changi Airport, follow the transfer signs, check the screens for your next gate, and allow time to enjoy the airport’s amenities between flights.

On arrival in Riyadh, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs before exiting the arrivals hall. It is a good idea to confirm local transport options in advance and to keep your hotel address readily available for reference when arranging onward travel.
