We offer a range of special meals to cater to medical and certain dietary needs. You can request these in advance through our website or your booking agent, and we will do our best to have them ready on board your flights.

Eligible passengers in Business Class can pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses on selected sectors using our Book the Cook service, helping you personalise your dining experience before you fly.

For flights between Darwin and Riyadh, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite and Value fares; 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final 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 once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class and Business Class passengers needing to add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members, and the connection supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Darwin–Singapore and Singapore–Riyadh sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable legroom and space. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 sector, and lie-flat or deeply reclining seats with ample room on the Boeing 737-8 MAX sector.

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 use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge during their time at Singapore Changi Airport, 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 Darwin but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

For longer layovers at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join an official city tour if your connection meets the minimum required hours, allowing you to see highlights of Singapore before returning for your onward flight. For shorter stops, the terminals offer themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family zones to help you relax.

You can also enjoy airport facilities such as free cinemas, indoor play spaces, and spa or shower services, depending on the terminal you are in. Dining options range from quick snacks to full meals, giving you plenty of choice between flights.

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

Darwin operates on Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Riyadh uses Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) year-round. This means Riyadh is 6 hours 30 minutes behind Darwin throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh when flying from Darwin 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 (Darwin–Singapore and Singapore–Riyadh) 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 Riyadh 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 Darwin–Riyadh 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.
