Flights from Colombo (CMB) to Vietnam

Yes, you will be served meals on flights from Colombo to Vietnam. On these medium-haul and regional services, you can enjoy in-flight dining with a choice of main courses and accompaniments tailored to the route. Special meals can be requested in advance to meet many dietary needs. On eligible sectors, you may pre-select your main course through our Book the Cook service in premium cabins, subject to route and aircraft. A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a selection of alcoholic drinks, along with our signature Singapore Sling on most flights.

Flights between Sri Lanka and Vietnam use the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you can typically check in at least 25 kg. In Business Class, the allowance is higher, usually at least 40 kg. For all cabins, you may also bring cabin baggage within size and piece limits, with a higher cabin baggage allowance in Business Class. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket for confirmed details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Colombo to Vietnam once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you travel in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and some fare types can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers reliably.

Across routes from Colombo to Vietnam, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. From Colombo to Singapore, both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10 feature these two cabins. From Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi on the Airbus A350-900, and from Singapore to Da Nang on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, you will also find Business Class and Economy Class, though seat design and layout differ slightly by aircraft type.

On these routes, Economy Class seats generally offer around 32 inches of pitch with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900, and spacious recliner or lie-flat style seating with generous pitch and width on aircraft like the Boeing 787-10 and Boeing 737-8 MAX. Exact configuration can vary by aircraft and route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Vietnam. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from Colombo to Vietnam connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside to enjoy themed gardens, art and attractions, rest areas, and a wide choice of shopping and dining. With longer layovers and sufficient time, you can consider a quick visit into the city or a guided transit experience, subject to immigration rules and your schedule. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi all use Indochina Time (UTC+7:00). This means Vietnam is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year, as neither country observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Vietnam when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Vietnam, 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.
