Flights from Johannesburg (JNB) to Perth (PER)

In-flight Dining
On Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Perth flights, you will be served meals designed for long-haul travel, with menus that reflect regional flavours and carefully timed service to help you settle into the journey.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals that can be requested in advance, accommodating many dietary preferences and needs. These should be ordered when you book, or via Manage Booking, to ensure they are loaded for both sectors of your trip.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in selected premium cabins can pre-order main courses from an extended Book the Cook menu on the long-haul sector, subject to availability on their specific flight. This allows you to confirm your preferred dish before departure.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, a selection of hot and cold drinks is available, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. You can also enjoy our signature Singapore Sling on board, alongside a curated range of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

For Johannesburg–Perth journeys, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (25kg on Lite and Value fares, 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares), Premium Economy Class (35kg), and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class (1 piece up to 7kg), and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg). Your final 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 from Johannesburg to Perth 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. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Johannesburg–Singapore sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore–Perth sector, Economy Class provides similar legroom with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class again offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for added comfort.

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. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is around 5.5 hours or longer, you can consider joining one of the official transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the airport’s gardens, relaxation zones, and rest areas between flights. Airside, you will find themed indoor gardens, quiet seating areas, and family-friendly play zones that help the time pass comfortably. If you prefer privacy, airport hotels and nap facilities can provide a chance to refresh and sleep. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Johannesburg follows South Africa Standard Time, which is UTC+2 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Perth follows Australian Western Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Perth is therefore 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Perth Airport when flying from Johannesburg 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 (Johannesburg–Singapore and Singapore–Perth) 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 Perth 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 Johannesburg–Perth 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.
