Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Surabaya to Xiamen via Singapore once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although 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 suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Surabaya–Singapore and Singapore–Xiamen sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional travel. In Business Class, you enjoy a fully flat bed or angled-flat seat depending on aircraft configuration, with generous space and direct aisle access on many seats.

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. Eligible passengers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

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

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, with themed gardens, play areas, rest zones, and a wide choice of dining outlets to enjoy between flights. If your layover is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining a free city transit tour, subject to operating hours and eligibility.

For shorter connections, it is best to stay airside and explore the terminals, where you will find art installations, quiet corners to relax, and, in certain terminals, features such as entertainment zones or indoor gardens. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you prefer a longer rest.

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

Surabaya follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), while Xiamen follows China Standard Time (UTC+8). Xiamen is 1 hour ahead of Surabaya throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport when flying from Surabaya 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 (Surabaya–Singapore and Singapore–Xiamen) 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 Xiamen 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 Surabaya–Xiamen 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.
