Flights from Istanbul (IST) to Hong Kong (HKG)

In-flight Dining
On Istanbul–Hong Kong journeys via Singapore, you will be served complimentary meals tailored to each flight sector, with menus designed for long-haul comfort and regional flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on request to suit different dietary needs. Please place your request at least 24 hours before departure so we can prepare it for your specific flight.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and cabins, you can pre-select curated main courses from our Book the Cook service, allowing you to choose your meal before you fly and enjoy a more personalised dining experience on board.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, alongside soft drinks, juices, and other beverages to keep you refreshed.

For flights between Istanbul and Hong Kong, the weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers may check in up to 35kg, while Business Class passengers may check in up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final 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 from Istanbul to Hong Kong once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can choose from paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Istanbul–Singapore and Singapore–Hong Kong sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width for balanced comfort. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for extra space and support. Business Class features fully flat beds with direct aisle access at every seat, giving you more room to rest throughout the journey.

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, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

If you have a longer connection at Singapore Changi Airport, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. This allows time for immigration, the tour itself, and your return for security and boarding. For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly spaces available in the terminals. You can also enjoy a wide range of dining and shopping, or book an airport hotel or massage if you prefer a quiet break. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Istanbul follows Turkey Time (TRT), which is UTC+3 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Hong Kong uses Hong Kong Time (HKT), which is UTC+8 and also does not change seasonally. Hong Kong is therefore 5 hours ahead of Istanbul throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hong Kong International Airport when flying from Istanbul 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 (Istanbul–Singapore and Singapore–Hong Kong) 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 Hong Kong 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 Istanbul–Hong Kong 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.
