Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Melbourne and Milan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. Wi-Fi is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on all sectors.

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.

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 Melbourne but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may be able to use The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, so even a short layover can be comfortable. For longer layovers, you can consider the airport's official transit tour programme, which typically requires several hours between flights, to enjoy a guided glimpse of the city. If you prefer to stay airside, you can explore themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones, or relax in quiet corners and transit hotels. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Melbourne operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and observes Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) roughly from October to early April. Milan uses Central European Time (UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Milan when flying from Melbourne 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 (Melbourne–Singapore and Singapore–Milan) 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 Milan 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 Melbourne–Milan 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.
