Book the Cook
Eligible customers in premium cabins on selected flights can pre-order from an extended menu using our Book the Cook service. This allows you to choose your main course ahead of time for an even more personalised dining experience.

For flights between Busan and Phuket, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, or 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may bring up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members have additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Busan to Phuket once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, and Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Busan to Singapore and Singapore to Phuket sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches in seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on this aircraft type.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, walking trails, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, you may be able to join a city tour or book a room at an airport hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Busan, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may access the Air Busan Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers can use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and frequent flyer status.

Busan is in the Asia/Seoul time zone (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. Phuket is in the Asia/Bangkok time zone (UTC+7) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Phuket is 2 hours behind Busan throughout the year.

You will depart from Busan Gimhae International Airport (PUS), connect at Singapore Changi Airport, and arrive at Phuket International Airport (HKT). All sectors on this route are operated by Singapore Airlines, making it straightforward to connect and check your bags through.

We recommend arriving at Busan Gimhae International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, immigration, and a relaxed walk to the gate before boarding begins.

If your Busan to Singapore and Singapore to Phuket flights are on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we will usually check your baggage through to Phuket. You should still confirm the baggage tag details at check-in to ensure your bags are labelled to your final destination.

Many travellers do not need a visa for airside transit in Singapore, but requirements vary by nationality and travel history. We recommend checking the latest entry and transit regulations with the relevant authorities or your local Singapore embassy or consulate before you travel.
