Flights from Vietnam to Australia

Yes, meals are served on flights from Vietnam to Australia. You can look forward to in-flight dining with a selection of regional and international dishes, along with appetisers and desserts tailored to the time of day. Special meals to suit various dietary needs are available when requested in advance. On selected routes and cabins, you can also use our Book the Cook service from Singapore, pre-ordering from a wider menu before you fly. Throughout the flight, we offer a range of hot and cold beverages, including our signature Singapore Sling in eligible cabins.

Flights between Vietnam (VN) and Australia (AU) generally use the weight concept for checked baggage. For routes where Economy Class is available, passengers typically enjoy a checked baggage allowance based on the ticketed fare type, with an additional cabin baggage allowance. Premium Economy Class, where offered, provides a higher checked baggage allowance than Economy Class. Business Class and First Class offer even more generous checked baggage allowances, along with larger cabin baggage allowances. Exact entitlements can vary by fare family and KrisFlyer or partner frequent flyer status, so you should always check your e-ticket for the specific baggage allowance for your journey.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines aircraft used between Vietnam and Australia once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, you should add your membership number to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to ensure access. Non-members and additional users can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The service is designed for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, and does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Across the network from Vietnam to Australia, you can travel in Economy Class, Premium Economy Class on selected routes, Business Class on all routes, and First Class on certain services where this cabin is offered between Singapore and major Australian cities or on selected sectors from Vietnam. Specific cabin configurations may differ by aircraft and route, so some city pairs may not offer every cabin class listed; your available options will be shown during booking for your chosen flights.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, depending on the aircraft type. Premium Economy Class, where available on your route, typically offers about 38 inches of seat pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width, giving you more personal space. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on our long-haul configured aircraft, with every seat offering direct aisle access on most wide-body aircraft. First Class, available on selected services, also features a fully flat bed and an enhanced personal space. Cabin layouts and exact seating can vary by aircraft model and route, so not all flights will have every cabin type.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections from Vietnam to Australia. 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 Vietnam to Australia connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy transfers and offers many ways to spend your time. For longer layovers, you can consider joining the airport’s free guided city transit tour when available and when your connection time meets the requirements, letting you see highlights of Singapore before returning airside. For shorter connections, you can stay in the terminal to enjoy gardens, rest areas, shopping, and dining, or refresh with a shower or a short stay at an airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Vietnam observes a single time zone (UTC+7) all year. In Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane generally operate on Eastern time, with Sydney and Melbourne usually at UTC+10 and moving to UTC+11 during daylight saving (typically from early October to early April), while Brisbane remains at UTC+10 all year. Adelaide usually runs at UTC+9:30 and shifts to UTC+10:30 during daylight saving in the same months as Sydney and Melbourne. Perth operates on Western time at UTC+8 with no daylight saving. Darwin and much of the Northern Territory are at UTC+9:30 and do not observe daylight saving, so the time difference between Vietnam and each Australian city varies slightly across the year.

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