Wi-Fi is available on Airbus A350-900 services on the Rome–Singapore–Colombo route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, though Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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.

With a layover in Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy one of the world’s most comfortable transit experiences. For longer layovers, you may join the official Free Singapore Tour when available, which typically requires at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, giving you time to see city highlights before returning for your connection.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very rewarding. Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet rest zones, art installations, play areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping. Depending on your terminal, you may also find facilities such as transit hotels, spa services, and showers to freshen up. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Rome Fiumicino (FCO), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the Plaza Premium Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, according to their class of travel and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is always confirmed on your boarding pass at the airport.

Rome operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. Colombo uses Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. This means Colombo is 4.5 hours ahead of Rome in winter, and 3.5 hours ahead during Rome’s summer time.

We recommend arriving at Rome Fiumicino Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for Colombo via Singapore. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security and border checks, and reaching your departure gate, especially during busy travel periods.

Entry and transit requirements for Sri Lanka can vary by nationality and may change over time. Before you travel, please check the latest information with the relevant embassies, consulates, or official government websites, and ensure your passport, visas, and any required travel authorisations are in order.

When you travel from Rome to Colombo with Singapore Airlines, your connection in Singapore Changi Airport is usually on the same ticket, so your checked baggage is typically tagged through to Colombo. Follow the transfer signs, check the flight information screens for your next gate, and allow time to enjoy the airport’s amenities before boarding.
