Flights from Australia to Indonesia

You will be served complimentary meals on flights from Australia to Indonesia, including a choice of main courses, accompanied by appetisers and desserts on longer sectors. We also offer a range of special meals for various dietary needs, which you can request in advance, and on selected flights you may be able to pre-select from additional options through our Book the Cook service. Throughout the journey, our crew provide a beverage service with soft drinks, juices, wines, beers and spirits, plus our signature Singapore Sling on eligible routes.

Flights between Australia (AU) and Indonesia (ID) generally follow the weight concept for checked baggage. For cabins offered on these routes, typical allowances apply by cabin class, with higher limits in Business Class, First Class and Suites than in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Your exact checked baggage and cabin baggage allowances are shown on your ticket and may vary depending on your KrisFlyer status or specific fare type, so always refer to your booking confirmation before you pack.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Australia to Indonesia once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Premium Economy Class or Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase paid plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email and basic browsing, but it is not designed for video streaming, video calls or large file transfers.

Across all routes between Australia and Indonesia, the combined cabin offering includes Suites, First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Some flights, particularly those operated by the Boeing 787-10, Airbus A350-900 or Boeing 737-8 MAX, may offer only Business Class and Economy Class, while services on the Airbus A380-800 and Boeing 777-300ER can include the full range of cabins. When you book, the available cabin classes for your chosen flights will be clearly displayed.

Legroom and space vary by cabin class on these routes. In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, offering comfortable personal space for long flights. Premium Economy Class, available on selected services, provides around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width, along with extra recline and leg support. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft. First Class and Suites, available on specific Airbus A380-800 and Boeing 777-300ER flights, feature fully flat beds and even more personal space. Cabin layouts and exact dimensions may differ slightly between aircraft types and routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Australia to Indonesia, primarily at Singapore Changi Airport. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from Australia to Indonesia connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is close to the city and designed for easy transits. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a transit tour into Singapore when available, or simply enjoy the airport’s gardens, art installations, rest areas and wide choice of dining and shopping. For shorter connections, staying airside allows you to relax in quiet zones, freshen up with shower facilities in selected areas or lounges, or stretch your legs with a gentle walk between the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Australia spans several time zones, while Indonesia has three main time zones. Jakarta and most of Java, along with West and Central Sumatra including Medan, follow Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7). Bali and much of central Indonesia use Central Indonesia Time (UTC+8), and parts of eastern Indonesia observe Eastern Indonesia Time (UTC+9). In practice, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are typically 3 hours ahead of Jakarta and Medan during Australian Eastern Standard Time, and 4 hours ahead when daylight saving time applies in New South Wales and Victoria. Perth is usually 1 hour ahead of Jakarta and Medan, and in the same time zone as Denpasar Bali. Adelaide and Darwin operate on half-hour offsets, so they can be 2.5 or 3.5 hours ahead of Jakarta depending on the time of year. Daylight saving usually runs from early October to early April in some Australian states, while Indonesia does not change its clocks.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Indonesia when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Indonesia, 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.
