You can look forward to multi-course dining designed by our international culinary panel, with menus that change regularly. A range of special meals is available to pre-order to suit different dietary needs. On selected cabins and routes, you can also enjoy Book the Cook, allowing you to reserve specific main courses before you fly.

Flights between India and France follow the weight-concept checked baggage policy. In Economy Class, you typically enjoy a checked baggage allowance starting from 25kg. In Premium Economy Class, higher checked baggage allowances apply, usually from 35kg. In Business Class, First Class, and Suites, you benefit from even more generous checked baggage allowances. All customers may also bring cabin baggage on board, with limits depending on cabin class and ticket type. For the most accurate allowance for your specific booking, please refer to your e-ticket or the baggage section on our website before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from India to France once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional devices can access a range of paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging apps, email, and general web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes between India and France via Singapore, the available cabin classes include Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, Business Class, First Class, and Suites. Not all classes are available on every flight; for example, Suites and First Class are offered on selected services operated by aircraft such as the Airbus A380-800 or Boeing 777-300ER, while some India–Singapore flights use aircraft like the Boeing 737-8 MAX that offer Business Class and Economy Class cabins. When booking, you can see which cabin classes are available for your chosen flights.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with seat widths of up to 19 inches depending on aircraft type. Premium Economy Class offers a more spacious experience, with around 38 inches of pitch and seat widths of up to 20 inches. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds and provide direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900, Airbus A380-800, and Boeing 777-300ER. First Class and Suites offer fully flat beds with even more personal space and enhanced privacy on selected aircraft. Cabin layouts can vary by route and aircraft, so exact specifications may differ between flights and city pairs.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at Singapore Changi Airport on connections from India to France. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from India to France connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your layover. For longer transits, you can consider joining one of the airport free city tours, subject to eligibility and timing, to get a glimpse of Singapore. For shorter layovers, stay airside and explore themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and dining options, or book access to a lounge or transit hotel for added comfort. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in France 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 France, 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.

India operates on India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. France uses Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1 in winter, and Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2 from late March to late October. This means Paris is typically 4.5 hours behind India during French winter (for example, when it is 18:00 in India, it is 13:30 in Paris), and 3.5 hours behind during French summer (18:00 in India, 14:30 in Paris). The same time difference applies for other major French cities that share the same time zone as Paris.
