Eligible premium cabins on selected sectors can take advantage of our Book the Cook service, allowing you to pre-select from a curated menu of main courses before departure.

For flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Seoul, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers have an allowance of 35kg, and Business Class passengers have 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while 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 most Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore and Singapore to Seoul sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class seats convert into a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access. On the Airbus A350-900 sector where available, Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for added comfort.

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 Ho Chi Minh City but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers in Singapore can use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the official free transit tours into the city, which usually require at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter layovers, stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones across the terminals. You can also make use of quiet corners, spa facilities, and airport hotels to rest or freshen up between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Seoul follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9), also without daylight saving. This means Seoul is consistently 2 hours ahead of Ho Chi Minh City throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Seoul when flying from Ho Chi Minh City 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 (Ho Chi Minh City–Singapore and Singapore–Seoul) 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 Seoul 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 Ho Chi Minh City–Seoul 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.
