Flights from Colombo (CMB) to Vietnam

Yes, you are served meals on flights from Colombo to Vietnam. In-flight dining includes thoughtfully prepared Asian and international options suitable for the length of each sector. You can request special meals in advance to meet many different dietary needs. On eligible sectors and cabins, you may also pre-select from a wider menu with our Book the Cook service. A selection of hot and cold beverages, including our signature Singapore Sling cocktail on most routes, is available throughout the flight.

Flights between Sri Lanka and Vietnam generally use the weight concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, you can usually check in at least 25kg of baggage. In Business Class, your allowance is higher, giving you more flexibility for longer trips. Cabin baggage limits vary by cabin, with at least one standard-sized cabin bag permitted in Economy Class and two in Business Class, within our published size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your booking confirmation for full details.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Colombo to Vietnam once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Colombo to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi via Singapore, you can travel in Business Class or Economy Class. Aircraft and cabin layouts may differ between sectors, so on some flights you may experience a widebody cabin, while on others you fly on a single-aisle jet. The cabin class shown for each sector during booking will apply for that part of your journey.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft operating your flight. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft and generous space on single-aisle aircraft. Specific configurations and layouts may vary between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX used on these routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Vietnam. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Your journey from Colombo to Vietnam includes a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer connections, you can consider a free city transit tour when available, or explore the airport’s themed gardens, walking trails, and entertainment zones. Shorter layovers are easy to enjoy airside, with quiet rest areas, shower facilities, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Whether you prefer to stretch, shop, or simply relax, your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Colombo operates on Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi, uses Indochina Time (UTC+7:00). Vietnam is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Colombo throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

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