Flights from Vietnam to United Arab Emirates

Yes, meals are served on flights from Vietnam to the United Arab Emirates. You can enjoy full meal services with a choice of main courses, including Asian and international options, along with appetisers and desserts chosen for the route. We also offer a range of special meals that you can request in advance to suit your dietary needs.

Flights between Vietnam (VN) and the United Arab Emirates (AE) use the weight concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class, you typically have a checked baggage allowance calculated by total weight, and in Premium Economy Class this allowance is higher. Business Class and First Class enjoy an even more generous checked baggage allowance. Across all cabins, you may bring cabin baggage on board, with limits on the number of pieces and total weight depending on your cabin class. Exact allowances are shown during booking and on your e ticket, and we recommend checking them before you travel.

Wi Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Vietnam to the United Arab Emirates once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy this benefit. Non members and guests who need additional access can purchase Wi Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging apps, email, and general web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Vietnam to the United Arab Emirates, you can travel in Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, or First Class, depending on the specific flight and aircraft. Some flight combinations may not offer every cabin on each sector, so you might see different cabin options between your Vietnam–Singapore and Singapore–Dubai legs. During booking, the available cabin classes for your chosen flights are clearly shown for each segment.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft type. Premium Economy Class offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width, with enhanced recline and leg support. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, and every seat has direct aisle access on most aircraft used on these routes. First Class features a fully flat bed and a more spacious personal area. Because we use different aircraft types, such as the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX, exact seat layouts and configurations can vary slightly by flight.

Most journeys from Vietnam to the United Arab Emirates connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for an easy and enjoyable transit. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a free city tour when available, or explore attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and themed zones across the terminals. For shorter connections, it is convenient to stay airside, relax in a lounge, enjoy a meal, or visit spa facilities and quiet rest areas close to your gate. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year, with no daylight saving. The United Arab Emirates uses Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4), also without daylight saving. This means that Dubai is typically 3 hours behind cities in Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in United Arab Emirates 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 United Arab Emirates, 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.
