Throughout your journey you can enjoy a range of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, allowing you to savour a classic cocktail in the air.

For Da Nang–Istanbul flights, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class guests may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class guests may check 35kg, and Business Class guests may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class guests may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class guests may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid 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 the Da Nang–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore–Istanbul sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class also offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class features a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class provides a fully flat bed with 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 Da Nang but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the airport’s free transit tour programmes, which generally require a minimum layover of about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These tours offer a brief introduction to the city without the need to manage logistics yourself. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s extensive facilities, including themed gardens, rest zones, and entertainment areas designed for relaxation between flights. Alternatively, consider booking a room at an airport hotel or using shower and nap facilities to refresh before your onward journey. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Da Nang follows Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh time, which is UTC+7 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Istanbul follows Asia/Istanbul time, which is UTC+3 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Istanbul is therefore 4 hours behind Da Nang throughout the year.

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