Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Taipei (TPE)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both the Sydney–Singapore and Singapore–Taipei sectors, with menus designed to suit different tastes and flight times in Economy Class and the premium cabins.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that cater to various dietary requirements. You can request these in advance through Manage Booking, and they will be served on both sectors of your journey where available.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on the Sydney–Singapore sector can enjoy Book the Cook, allowing you to pre-select from an expanded menu of main courses. This adds more choice and personalisation to your dining experience before you board.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees. Our signature Singapore Sling is offered on board, so you can enjoy a classic taste of Singapore during your flight.

For flights between Sydney and Taipei, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class passengers have 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Premium Economy Class passengers have 35kg; Business Class passengers have 40kg; Suites and First Class passengers have 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Suites, First Class, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact 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 Sydney to Taipei once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Sydney–Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to a 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to a 20-inch seat width, Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and Suites or First Class offer a spacious fully flat bed. On the Singapore–Taipei sector, Economy Class offers the same 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features fully flat beds with direct aisle access.

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 Sydney but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may be invited to facilities such as The Private Room, SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to layovers, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of shops and dining options inside the terminals. For longer connections, you can explore additional facilities such as entertainment zones, airport hotels, or, where available, an official city transit tour if your layover meets the minimum time requirement. Shorter layovers are comfortably spent airside, taking advantage of seating areas and amenities close to your departure gate. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Sydney operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from around April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Taipei stays on a single time zone throughout the year at UTC+8. This means Sydney is typically 2 or 3 hours ahead of Taipei, depending on the time of year.

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