Flights between India and Australia typically use the piece-concept for checked baggage. Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers usually enjoy at least one piece of checked baggage, while Business Class, First Class, and Suites customers receive a higher allowance. Cabin baggage allowances apply to all cabin classes, with one or more carry-on items permitted depending on your class of travel. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your e-ticket or our website before you fly.

KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please add your membership number at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase paid plans onboard. The connection works well for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the Mumbai–Australia network, you can travel in Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, or Suites, depending on the aircraft and routing.

In Business Class, you have a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft, while First Class and Suites provide a fully flat bed and additional personal space on select services. Cabin configurations can vary by aircraft and city, so seat features may differ slightly between routes.

Most flights from Mumbai to Australia connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for comfortable transits. For longer layovers, you can enjoy indoor gardens, lounges, and attractions, or join a free transit tour of the city when available and if your connection time allows. Shorter layovers can be spent relaxing in quiet zones, sampling local and international dining, or exploring retail options in the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are typically 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai during Australian Eastern Standard Time (around April to early October), and 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead during Australian Eastern Daylight Time (around early October to early April). Adelaide is usually 4 hours ahead of Mumbai, and 5 hours ahead when daylight saving is in effect. Perth is generally 2 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai, while Darwin is usually 4 hours ahead, without daylight saving changes.

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