Flights from Colombo (CMB) to Brisbane (BNE)

In-flight Dining
On Colombo to Brisbane journeys via Singapore, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day on both sectors in Economy Class and Business Class, with menus featuring regional and international favourites.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request to suit different dietary needs. You can pre-select these through Manage Booking before your flight so we can have your preferred option ready on board.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in premium cabins on selected sectors of this route can use our Book the Cook service to choose from an expanded menu, available when you pre-order your main course before departure.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available throughout the flight, and our signature Singapore Sling is offered on board for you to enjoy.

For flights between Colombo and Brisbane, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for 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, while Business Class passengers 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 from Colombo to Brisbane once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Business Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

Non-members can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Colombo to Singapore and Singapore to Brisbane sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for regional and long-haul flights.

Business Class on these sectors features seats that convert into fully flat beds, with every seat offering direct aisle access for ease of movement and privacy.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. For longer stops, you can join the official free city tour, which usually requires a layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours, giving you a taste of Singapore between flights.

For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore themed gardens, rest zones, or entertainment areas, depending on your terminal. You can also freshen up with shower facilities or relax at quiet seating areas before your next sector.

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

Colombo follows Sri Lanka Time (UTC+5:30) year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not currently observe daylight saving time either, so Brisbane is 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year.

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