In-flight Dining
On the long-haul Johannesburg to Singapore sector, you will be served full meals tailored to the time of day, with a choice of main courses and thoughtfully designed menus in every cabin.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request, which must be reserved before departure. You can select suitable options during booking or by managing your booking online ahead of your flight.

Book the Cook
On eligible premium cabins, you can use our Book the Cook service on the long-haul sector to pre-select main courses from an expanded menu, giving you more choice and control over your dining experience.

Throughout your journey, a wide range of hot and cold drinks is available, including our signature Singapore Sling, which is served on board across all cabins.

On Johannesburg to Jakarta flights, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 35kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 40kg, and First Class passengers on the Singapore to Jakarta sector may bring 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may carry 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class and First Class passengers may carry 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance is 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; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers 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 the Johannesburg to Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore to Jakarta Boeing 777-300ER sector, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class offer similar legroom standards, while Business Class and First Class feature fully flat beds, with Business Class also providing 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.

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 Johannesburg but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your layover is long enough, you can join one of Singapore Changi Airport's free city transit tours, which generally require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. For shorter connections, stay airside and enjoy the airport's themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones. You can also relax in quiet zones or airport hotels located within or close to the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg operates on South Africa Standard Time, which is UTC+2 and does not observe daylight saving time. Jakarta operates on Western Indonesia Time, which is UTC+7 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Jakarta is therefore 5 hours ahead of Johannesburg throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Jakarta when flying from Johannesburg 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 (Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Jakarta) 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 Jakarta 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 Johannesburg–Jakarta 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.
