Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected flights can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses, enhancing your dining experience on the longer sector.

For flights between Siem Reap and Melbourne, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg for Lite/Value fares, 30kg for Standard/Flexi), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). The final allowance for your trip will be 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, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. 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 Siem Reap–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous personal space. On the Singapore–Melbourne sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class provides 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 from every seat.

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 Siem Reap but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for a relaxing or productive layover, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family zones. If your connection is at least 5.5 to 6 hours and you meet the entry requirements, you may be able to join an official transit tour to see highlights of the city before returning to the airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside to enjoy walking trails, art installations, and a variety of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Siem Reap operates on Indochina Time (UTC+7) throughout the year. Melbourne uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) roughly from April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Melbourne is therefore 3 hours ahead of Siem Reap in winter, and 4 hours ahead in summer.

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