On Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Paris sectors, you will be served complimentary meals tailored to the time of day in all cabins, with menus featuring regional and international flavours designed for long-haul comfort.

Special Meals
We offer a wide selection of special meals that can be requested before departure to meet many dietary needs. These are prepared separately and served on board alongside the main meal service.

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and sectors, you can pre-select from an expanded range of main courses through our Book the Cook service, giving you more control over what you enjoy on board.

Throughout the flight, a varied beverage selection is available, including hot and cold drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is offered on board, alongside other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

For flights between Johannesburg and Paris, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class includes 35kg of checked baggage, and Business Class includes 40kg; First Class on the Singapore–Paris sector includes 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and 2 pieces up to 7kg each in Business Class and First Class. Your final allowance is always shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Johannesburg to Paris once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, with Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers required to add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Johannesburg–Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector and the Singapore–Paris Boeing 777-300ER sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, and First Class on the Singapore–Paris sector also offers a fully flat bed and a spacious personal environment.

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 Johannesburg but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may be invited to The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore (SIN).

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the airport’s free transit tour programmes into the city, typically available when you have at least about 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. These tours offer a relaxed way to see key sights without managing your own transfers.

For shorter layovers, it is worth staying airside and exploring the airport’s many amenities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, entertainment zones, and family-friendly spaces. You can also enjoy a meal, refresh with a shower at selected facilities, or simply stretch your legs between terminals.

Whatever the length of your connection, follow airport signage for transfer routes and use the information desks if you need guidance. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Paris follows Central European Time (UTC+1) from late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Paris is typically 1 hour behind Johannesburg in the European winter, and at the same time as Johannesburg during the European summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Paris when flying from Johannesburg 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 (Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Paris) 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 Paris 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 Johannesburg–Paris 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.
