Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Hanoi to Los Angeles once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Hanoi–Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed on long-haul configured aircraft or generous recline with ample space on regional services. On the Singapore–Los Angeles sector, Economy Class also offers around 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class provides about 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the airport's official transit tours into the city, which typically require at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. For shorter connections, stay airside and enjoy the airport's gardens, quiet rest areas, free movie screenings, and relaxation zones spread across the terminals. Families can make use of play areas, while those seeking privacy can consider airport hotels or nap facilities inside the transit area. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hanoi follows Indochina Time (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Los Angeles follows Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 in winter (approximately November to March) and UTC-7 in summer (approximately March to November). This means Los Angeles is 15 hours behind Hanoi in winter and 14 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Los Angeles International Airport when flying from Hanoi 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 (Hanoi–Singapore and Singapore–Los Angeles) 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 Los Angeles 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 Hanoi–Los Angeles 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.
