Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals on this route to meet different dietary needs. These should be requested in advance through your booking, so our catering teams can prepare them before your flight.

Book the Cook
On eligible cabins and flights for this route, you can use our Book the Cook service to pre-select from a wider range of main courses. This lets you secure a preferred dish before you board and enjoy a more personalised dining experience.

A selection of hot and cold drinks, including wines and spirits, is served throughout the flight. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, so you can enjoy a classic cocktail as you travel.

For flights between Amsterdam and Johannesburg, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite/Value fares, 30kg on Standard/Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (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 baggage allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

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

On both the Amsterdam–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg Airbus A350-900 sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for added comfort.

In Business Class on this route, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access from every seat, designed to help you rest and arrive feeling refreshed.

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.

You may be able to access lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore, depending on your eligibility.

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

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you have the option to join the airport’s free city tours if your transit time meets the minimum requirement of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These guided tours give you a glimpse of Singapore’s highlights without needing to plan your own route.

If your layover is shorter, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s many amenities. Depending on the terminal, you may find themed gardens, quiet rest zones, entertainment areas, and even a swimming pool, along with a wide choice of dining and shopping.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Amsterdam follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Johannesburg stays on South Africa Standard Time (UTC+2) all year. This means Johannesburg is 1 hour ahead of Amsterdam in winter, and at the same time as Amsterdam in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Johannesburg when flying from Amsterdam 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 (Amsterdam–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 Amsterdam–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.
