Flights from Kolkata (CCU) to South Korea

Yes, we serve complimentary meals on all flights from Kolkata to South Korea via Singapore. On each sector, you can enjoy curated in-flight dining with a choice of main courses, complemented by dessert and refreshments. You may request special meals in advance to suit medical, vegetarian, or other non-religious dietary needs.

A full beverage service is available, including juices, soft drinks, hot drinks, and a selection of wines and spirits, as well as our signature Singapore Sling on most flights.

Flights between India and South Korea generally follow the weight-concept baggage allowance. On these routes, travellers in Economy Class typically enjoy a checked baggage allowance starting from 25kg, while Business Class guests enjoy a higher allowance, with additional benefits for KrisFlyer Elite and PPS Club members. All customers may also bring at least one piece of cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits. For precise details based on your booking class and KrisFlyer status, please refer to your ticket or our baggage calculator before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most flights from Kolkata to South Korea via Singapore once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; 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 users can purchase paid plans on board. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From Kolkata to Singapore and onwards to both Seoul and Busan, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. Aircraft types and cabin layouts differ between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX, so specific seat designs and configurations may vary slightly by sector.

In Economy Class on these routes, you can expect a seat pitch of around 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft. In Business Class, you have a fully flat bed on board, with generous personal space; every seat offers ample legroom and additional storage, though exact layouts differ slightly between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Korea. 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.

On flights from Kolkata to Seoul or Busan, your layover is at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer connections, you can join an official free transit tour into the city if your timings match, or explore airport attractions such as indoor gardens, art installations, and rest areas. Shorter layovers are easily spent airside, with plentiful dining, shopping, showers, and quiet zones, as well as airport hotels if you prefer a private room. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). South Korea, including Seoul and Busan, uses Korea Standard Time (UTC+9:00) and does not observe daylight saving time. This means South Korea is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata all year round.

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