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. 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 Business Class passengers may bring 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 most aircraft operating between Surabaya, Singapore, and Johannesburg once the flight is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can choose from paid 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 Surabaya–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable space for most travellers. Premium Economy Class, available between Singapore and Johannesburg, offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width and enhanced recline. Business Class on both sectors features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul services, designed to give you more privacy 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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership 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 Surabaya but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play zones, which make shorter layovers comfortable. You can enjoy walking through terminals, sampling different cuisines, or relaxing in dedicated snooze areas.

For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you may consider joining one of the airport's official transit tours, which take you into the city to see key landmarks before returning in time for your onward flight. This can be a refreshing way to break up the journey from Surabaya to Johannesburg.

If you prefer to stay airside, you can make use of shower facilities, airport hotels, or spa treatments to recharge between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Surabaya operates on Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg uses South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2), also without daylight saving. Johannesburg is therefore 5 hours behind Surabaya throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg when flying from Surabaya 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 (Surabaya–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg) 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 Johannesburg 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 Surabaya–Johannesburg 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.
