For flights between Riyadh and Manchester, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite/Value fares, 30kg on Standard/Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is confirmed on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Riyadh to Manchester 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 on board.

The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so you can stay connected while keeping the connection stable for everyone.

On both Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester sectors, Economy Class offers a 32-inch seat pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing good comfort for long journeys. Premium Economy Class is available on the Singapore–Manchester sector, with a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for extra space.

Business Class is available on both sectors and features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, giving you room to rest properly and arrive feeling more refreshed.

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 Riyadh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be invited to relax in lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their next flight.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, so even a short layover can be comfortable and engaging. For longer connections, you can consider the airport’s official free city tours, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours of transit time, subject to operating schedules and entry requirements.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find indoor gardens, quiet rest zones, transit hotels, and family-friendly play areas, along with ample dining and shopping options. Spa services and shower facilities are available in various terminals, helping you feel refreshed before your onward flight.

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

Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time, which is UTC+3 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Manchester follows UK time: Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October.

This means Manchester is usually 3 hours behind Riyadh in winter, and 2 hours behind Riyadh in summer. Always check the exact local times close to your travel dates, especially around the seasonal clock changes in the United Kingdom.

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