Flights from Kolkata (CCU) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both the Kolkata–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City sectors, with menus designed to offer a balance of regional and international flavours, along with thoughtful accompaniments.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet specific dietary needs on this route. You can request these when you book your ticket or via Manage Booking, and they should be ordered at least 24 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors in premium cabins, our Book the Cook service lets you reserve selected main courses in advance. This gives you more choice and the reassurance of knowing what will be served on board.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your journey, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, allowing you to enjoy a classic taste of Singapore in the air.

For flights between Kolkata and Ho Chi Minh City, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class guests may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class guests may bring 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class guests may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class guests may bring 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 have additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Kolkata to Ho Chi Minh City once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and 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 connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, both sectors between Kolkata, Singapore, and Ho Chi Minh City are operated by the Airbus A350-900. In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed to support you on medium-haul journeys. In Business Class, you will have a fully flat bed and direct aisle access at every seat, giving you more personal space to rest or work.

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, longer layovers can be spent joining an official transit tour into the city, which usually requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours of transfer time. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, relaxation zones, quiet seating, and other airside facilities without leaving the terminal. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

In Kolkata, eligible Singapore Airlines customers departing for Ho Chi Minh City via Singapore can relax at the Travel Club Lounge at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. Access depends on your class of travel or your frequent flyer status, and some passengers may also be able to purchase lounge access directly.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Your boarding pass at the airport will indicate which lounge you can use.

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7:00 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip, and the length of your stay in Vietnam. We recommend checking with the nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate, or your government travel advisory, before you book. Ensure your passport has sufficient validity for the duration of your journey.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is relatively close to central districts such as District 1 and District 3. You can choose from official taxis, app-based car services, or airport buses. Journey times vary with traffic, so allow extra time during peak periods and check local guidance when you arrive.

Ho Chi Minh City is warm and humid for most of the year, so light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. A compact umbrella or light rain jacket is useful for sudden showers, and a hat and sunscreen help for outdoor activities. Keep essential documents and medicines in your cabin baggage.

English is commonly spoken in hotels, many restaurants, larger shops, and by tourism service providers in Ho Chi Minh City, especially in central areas. In local neighbourhoods and markets, you may encounter more limited English, but simple phrases and translation apps generally help communication.
