For flights between Riyadh and Barcelona, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class on the Singapore–Barcelona sector includes 35kg of checked baggage, and Business Class offers 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance 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 from Riyadh to Barcelona once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium 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 service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Barcelona sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class is available on the Singapore–Barcelona sector, with a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class on both sectors features a fully flat bed with every seat providing direct aisle access.

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 Riyadh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their entitlement.

If your layover in Singapore is long enough, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires a minimum of around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This allows you to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward journey. For shorter connections, Singapore Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and swimming and entertainment facilities within its terminals. You can also enjoy diverse dining and retail options while staying close to your gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time, which is UTC+3 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Barcelona follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter, typically from late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer, from late March to late October. This means Barcelona is usually 2 hours behind Riyadh in winter and 1 hour behind Riyadh in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Barcelona when flying from Riyadh 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 (Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Barcelona) 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 Barcelona 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 Riyadh–Barcelona 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.
