Flights from Turkey to India

You can request a range of special meals in advance to suit your dietary needs, and on selected sectors you may be able to use our Book the Cook service to pre-select main courses when travelling in premium cabins.

Flights between Turkey (TR) and India (IN) use the weight-concept baggage policy. On routes between Istanbul and Indian cities via Singapore, the checked baggage allowance typically starts from 25 kg in Economy Class and 35 kg in Premium Economy Class, with higher allowances in Business Class. Your exact allowance is shown on your ticket, as it can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status. Cabin baggage is usually one piece in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and two pieces in Business Class, within published size and weight limits. Always check your booking confirmation or our baggage information page before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft once the flight reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your KrisFlyer number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure so your access is activated. Non-members, or passengers who prefer not to log in, can purchase Wi-Fi plans onboard. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across flights from Istanbul to India via Singapore, you can choose from Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Some city pairs and specific flight sectors may not offer all three cabins on every aircraft type, so available cabin classes can differ between, for example, an Airbus A350-900 and a Boeing 737-8 MAX. The booking engine will display which cabins are offered on your chosen dates and sectors.

On these routes, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on long journeys. Premium Economy Class provides about a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, plus extra recline and leg support on eligible aircraft. In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed on long-haul wide-body aircraft, with every seat offering direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10. Some shorter sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX feature a different, more compact Business Class cabin, so configurations can vary slightly by aircraft and route.

Most journeys from Turkey to India connect through Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), which is designed for comfortable transit. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore the airport's themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and dining options, or visit the Jewel complex for its indoor waterfall and shops if time allows. On longer daytime layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city, subject to current operating conditions and your nationality's entry requirements. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in India 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 India, 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.

Turkey usually operates on Turkey Time (TRT), which is UTC+3 year-round. India uses India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. This means that Indian cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad are typically 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Istanbul throughout the year. Always check local times close to your departure date, as schedules are published using local time at each airport.
