Keeping your child safe and comfortable

Families travelling with 2 or more infants may not be able to be seated together as the bassinet points may not be positioned side by side.

Pack all the baby essentials for a fuss-free trip
We provide our young travellers with baggage allowance so that the family can have a fuss-free flight! Do refer to your e-ticket for the baggage allowance.
Depending on the itinerary and class of travel, infants will be entitled to check in up to 10kg* of baggage, or a piece of baggage up to 23kg/32kg*, along with a fully-collapsible stroller and car seat.
Alternatively, you can carry a compact, foldable lightweight stroller on board the cabin. If you’re departing from Singapore, you’ll also enjoy an additional 6kg of cabin baggage allowance for breast milk, infant food, and baby amenities. If you're departing from or transiting through other countries, contact Singapore Airlines for the country-specific restrictions.
If you have a Scoot flight in your itinerary, please note that all Scoot flights will require the stroller to be checked in at the aerobridge if there is no space in the cabin compartment. Checked baggage allowance for infants are not included on Scoot flights.
Checked baggage allowance for a child is the same as that for an adult, depending on ticket fare conditions.

Tasty eats for young travellers
Upon request*, your infant will be served age-appropriate meals that are easy to chew and digest. Travelling with older children? Let them pick among the Western, Asian, and vegetarian options.
The little one is a fussy eater? No problem—you are more than welcome to bring your own food on board. We recommend bringing food that does not require chilling or heating due to operational restrictions.
Baby meal • Child meal for Infant
Western meal • Asian meal • Vegetarian meal
*We are unable to serve your infant an adult meal if there is no prior infant meal request.
