Eligible customers in premium cabins on selected sectors can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you fly.

A selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees, is available throughout the flight, along with alcoholic beverages where permitted. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board for you to enjoy as part of your 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. Eligible customers may be invited to lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable transits, with quiet zones, gardens, and a wide range of dining options if you prefer to stay airside. For longer layovers, you can consider the official free city tour programmes, which typically require several hours between flights and are subject to eligibility and operating hours. Shorter connections are well spent enjoying indoor gardens, relaxation areas, and family-friendly facilities across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC−8 in winter and UTC−7 in summer (typically March to early November). Kolkata follows India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This means Kolkata is 13.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter, and 12.5 hours ahead in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata when flying from Los Angeles 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 (Los Angeles–Singapore and Singapore–Kolkata) 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 Kolkata 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 Los Angeles–Kolkata 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.
