Flights from London (LON) to Vietnam

Yes, meals are served on flights from London to Vietnam. On the long-haul London–Singapore sector, you can enjoy our in-flight dining with regionally inspired and international dishes, followed by a meal or snack on the shorter Singapore–Vietnam flight. You can request special meals in advance to suit many dietary needs, and selected premium cabins may offer Book the Cook from Singapore or London for a wider choice of main courses. Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a curated beverage selection, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and alcoholic options, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on most flights.

On flights between the United Kingdom and Vietnam, the baggage allowance generally follows our piece concept. Economy Class and Premium Economy Class typically include at least one piece of checked baggage, while Business Class, First Class, and Suites usually include a higher number of checked pieces. All travellers may also bring cabin baggage within set size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, so please refer to your booking or e-ticket for specific details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from London to Vietnam once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and 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 some fare types can purchase access plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across all London to Vietnam routes, you will find Economy Class and Business Class on every sector. Premium Economy Class is available on the London–Singapore long-haul sector operated by the Airbus A380-800, Airbus A350-900, or Boeing 777-300ER, but not on the shorter Singapore–Vietnam flights. First Class is offered on selected Boeing 777-300ER services between London and Singapore, and Suites are available on Airbus A380-800 services on this sector. The onward flights from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or Hanoi are typically in Business Class and Economy Class.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with seat widths up to 19 inches, designed for comfort on long and short sectors. Premium Economy Class on the London–Singapore flights offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width, giving extra space and a wider seat. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, and every seat provides direct aisle access on our long-haul widebody aircraft. First Class and Suites on selected London–Singapore flights also feature fully flat beds and enhanced personal space. On the regional Singapore–Vietnam routes, configurations may vary slightly, but still follow our focus on comfort within each cabin.

Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most flights from London to Vietnam connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which is well suited to both short and longer layovers. For shorter connections, you can explore the terminals' gardens, rest areas, shops, and dining, or freshen up with shower facilities. On longer layovers, you can consider a free or paid transit tour of Singapore when available, or relax in a transit hotel for extra rest between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam operates on a single time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7), and does not observe daylight saving time. London is usually on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) from late October to late March, making Vietnam 7 hours ahead. During British Summer Time (UTC+1), from late March to late October, Vietnam is 6 hours ahead of London. This applies equally to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi.

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