Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in selected premium cabins can choose from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service on the long-haul sectors, subject to availability and route eligibility. This allows you to reserve a main course in advance for added peace of mind.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout the flight, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board for you to enjoy during your journey.

Premium Economy Class passengers may check 35kg, and Business Class passengers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Cabin baggage
Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece of cabin baggage up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces of cabin baggage, each up to 7kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Cairns to Barcelona once the Airbus A350-900 is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Cairns to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats on the Airbus A350-900 offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

On the Singapore to Barcelona sector, Economy Class provides the same 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 again features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

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 (SIN), eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and frequent flyer 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 Cairns but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide selection of gardens, rest areas, and entertainment, making it comfortable to stay airside between flights. For shorter layovers, you can explore themed gardens, quiet zones, and a variety of dining choices within the terminals.

With a longer connection, you can consider using airport facilities such as transit hotels, relaxation spaces, and dedicated snooze areas to rest between sectors. Shopping arcades and play zones also help make the time pass quickly.

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

Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Barcelona follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter, typically late October to late March, and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer, typically late March to late October. This means Barcelona is 9 hours behind Cairns in winter and 8 hours behind Cairns in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Barcelona–El Prat Airport when flying from Cairns 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 (Cairns–Singapore and Singapore–Barcelona) 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 Barcelona 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 Cairns–Barcelona 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.
