Flights between Indonesia and Thailand generally follow the weight concept for checked baggage.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Surabaya to Thailand once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class, you should add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On flights from Surabaya to Bangkok and Phuket, Singapore Airlines operates Business Class and Economy Class. Aircraft and cabin layouts can vary by sector, so your flight between Surabaya and Singapore, and your onward flight to Thailand, may offer slightly different seating configurations within these two cabin classes.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat with around 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on regional journeys. In Business Class, seats convert into a fully flat bed or a lie-flat configuration depending on aircraft, and every seat offers generous personal space and direct aisle access or easy aisle access, depending on the layout. Specific configurations can differ between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX operating these routes.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Thailand.

Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most journeys from Surabaya to Thailand connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour (subject to eligibility and timing) to see highlights of Singapore. For shorter waits, stay airside and enjoy indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of shopping and dining. Airport hotels and nap facilities are also available if you prefer to rest. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Surabaya operates on Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7). Bangkok and Phuket both use Indochina Time (UTC+7). This means there is typically no time difference between Surabaya and major cities in Thailand, and Thailand does not observe daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Thailand when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Thailand, 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.
