For flights between Riyadh and Ho Chi Minh City, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: in Economy Class, 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; in Business Class, 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final baggage 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 Riyadh to Ho Chi Minh City once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, the Airbus A350-900 offers Economy Class seats with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access for every passenger on both sectors.

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.

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 Riyadh but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers can use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore (SIN), depending on cabin and status.

If you have enough time during your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the airport’s free transit tours into the city, which usually require a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours. These guided tours offer a convenient way to see highlights without arranging your own transport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very relaxing, with access to themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and in some terminals, attractions such as a swimming pool or cinema. There are also many dining options and shops to explore between flights.

If you prefer to rest, consider booking an airport hotel or pay-per-use lounge inside the terminal, allowing you to shower, nap, or work in comfort before your onward flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh follows Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City follows Indochina Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving time. This means Ho Chi Minh City is 4 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport when flying from Riyadh 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 (Riyadh–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City) 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Riyadh–Ho Chi Minh City 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.
