In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both the Phnom Penh–Singapore and Singapore–Istanbul sectors, with menus designed to suit the time of day and flight duration. Options are tailored for each cabin, so you can enjoy a satisfying dining experience throughout your journey.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet specific dietary needs on this route. You can request these in advance through our booking management tools, and we recommend doing so at least 48 hours before departure so we can prepare your preferred option.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected sectors can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider choice of main courses. This allows you to personalise your meal experience before you fly and look forward to a dish chosen in advance.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, is available on board. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling cocktail during your flight, as well as a curated range of other alcoholic beverages.

For Phnom Penh–Istanbul flights, our weight-concept baggage policy applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi: 30kg), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (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 baggage 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 on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; 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 access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Phnom Penh–Singapore sector, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and a spacious recliner or lie-flat style seat on the Boeing 737-8 MAX.

On the Singapore–Istanbul sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, helping you arrive feeling better rested.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on 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 Phnom Penh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official free city tour, which generally requires a minimum transit time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. This offers a relaxed introduction to Singapore’s highlights before returning to the airport.

For shorter connections, it is best to stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport’s extensive amenities, including indoor gardens, themed rest areas, quiet zones, and family-friendly play areas. Selected terminals also feature entertainment zones and pay-per-use lounges where you can freshen up.

You can take advantage of clear signage and airside Skytrain services between terminals to move smoothly between gates and facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Phnom Penh follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Istanbul follows Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round and also does not change clocks. This means Istanbul is 4 hours behind Phnom Penh throughout the year; for example, 12.00 in Phnom Penh is 08.00 in Istanbul.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Istanbul Airport when flying from Phnom Penh 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 (Phnom Penh–Singapore and Singapore–Istanbul) 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 Istanbul 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 Phnom Penh–Istanbul 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.
