For flights between Riyadh and Seoul, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite/Value fares: 25kg; Standard/Flexi: 30kg) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class (1 piece, up to 7kg) and Business Class (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 Riyadh to Seoul once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Riyadh–Singapore Airbus A350-900 and the Singapore–Seoul Boeing 787-10 sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, giving you ample space to work, dine, and rest.

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 use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or 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 Riyadh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging, from indoor gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and play zones. For longer layovers of at least 5.5–6 hours, you can consider official transit tour options into the city, subject to eligibility and schedules.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find relaxation zones, shower facilities, and themed spaces where you can unwind between flights. Dining and shopping options range from quick snacks to full-service restaurants and a wide variety of retail outlets.

Whether you choose to explore the airport or join a city tour, you can move easily between terminals using the airport transit systems and follow clear wayfinding. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) year-round, without daylight saving time. Seoul uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9), also without daylight saving time. Seoul is therefore 6 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year; for example, when it is 12.00pm in Riyadh, it is 18.00 in Seoul.

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