Savour Singapore Airlines cuisine in the sky

Food is an integral part of the Singapore Airlines experience.

Champagne, wines selected by an international panel and a range of spirits and soft drinks complement the meal service.

First Class takes dining further still, with an extensive à la carte menu, vintage champagne and dedicated service from a cabin crew member. Across all classes, special meal options are available for passengers with dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher, and can be requested up to 24 hours before departure.

Getting ready for your Singapore Airlines flight

When planning your travels, it helps to check the Singapore Airlines website for the latest information on baggage allowances, check-in times and travel document requirements. Allowances vary by cabin class and destination, so reviewing your booking confirmation or the dedicated baggage page ensures you pack correctly and avoid unexpected fees at the airport.

Singapore Airlines recommends arriving at the airport with sufficient time before departure. For international flights departing from Singapore Changi Airport, check-in opens approximately two to three hours before scheduled departure, and the recommended minimum arrival time is two hours before departure. Many international airports also have Singapore Airlines check-in counters that open several hours before the flight.

If you have connecting flights through Singapore, the airline’s single-ticket itineraries mean your baggage is generally transferred automatically, saving you the effort of rechecking at Changi. The Changi Airport transit experience is itself a highlight, with extensive dining, shopping, gardens and rest facilities available airside around the clock. For qualifying passengers, the SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold Lounges provide a relaxed space to rest and refresh between flights.
