Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in Business Class on the Singapore to Seoul sector can enjoy our Book the Cook service, allowing advance selection from a wider menu of main courses. This helps you personalise your dining experience before you board.

Cabin baggage
In Economy Class, you may bring 1 piece of cabin baggage up to 7kg. In Business Class, you may bring 2 pieces of cabin baggage, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage allowance will be 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 Penang to Seoul once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Penang to Singapore sector and the Singapore to Seoul sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey.

On both sectors, Business Class features seats that convert into a fully flat bed, with every seat providing direct aisle access on the Boeing 787-10 and a spacious layout on the Boeing 737-8 MAX.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining one of the official transit tours into the city, which showcase highlights such as the skyline and waterfront before you return to the airport. Always check the latest requirements and registration details in advance.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with attractions such as indoor gardens, rest areas, and play zones for children spread across the terminals. You can also enjoy a wide choice of dining outlets and shopping for last-minute essentials or gifts.

If you prefer extra rest, airport hotels and paid lounges within or near the terminals provide quiet spaces to sleep or freshen up. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Penang follows Malaysia Time, which is UTC+8 throughout the year and does not observe daylight saving time. Seoul follows Korea Standard Time, which is also UTC+9 and does not observe daylight saving time. This means Seoul is 1 hour ahead of Penang at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Seoul when flying from Penang 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 (Penang–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 Penang–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.
