For flights between Cairns and Dhaka, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi fares: 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).

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Cairns to Dhaka 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.

On both the Cairns–Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector and the Singapore–Dhaka Boeing 787-10 sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on both aircraft types, giving you ample space to work, dine, or 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.

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

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy lush indoor gardens, themed zones, and quiet relaxation areas without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may join the airports official city tours if your connection meets the minimum hours required and your schedule allows. Shorter transits can be spent exploring art installations, dedicated rest zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10 and does not observe daylight saving time. Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (BST), which is UTC+6. Dhaka is therefore 4 hours behind Cairns throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka when flying from Cairns 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 (Cairns–Singapore and Singapore–Dhaka) 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 Dhaka 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 Cairns–Dhaka 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.
