Flights between Australia and the United States usually follow the piece concept for checked baggage. In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you can typically check at least one piece of baggage, while Business Class, First Class, and Suites passengers enjoy a higher piece allowance. Cabin baggage allowances vary by cabin, with a standard allocation of at least one cabin bag plus a personal item for Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and a higher cabin baggage allowance in Business Class, First Class, and Suites. Exact entitlements depend on your fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your e-ticket or our baggage calculator before you travel.

Non-members and additional users can choose from paid Wi-Fi plans. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most flights from Australia to Los Angeles with Singapore Airlines connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers extensive facilities and a free transit tour for longer layovers on eligible itineraries. For shorter connections, you can explore themed gardens, lounges, and relaxation areas, or visit Jewel Changi with its indoor waterfall and shopping right by the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Los Angeles follows Pacific Time (PT), which is UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 during daylight saving time, typically from March to early November. Sydney, Melbourne, and Hobart operate on Australian Eastern Time, usually 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles in the northern summer and 19 hours ahead in the northern winter, with local daylight saving also affecting the offset. Brisbane is on Australian Eastern Standard Time all year, generally 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles in northern summer and 18 hours ahead in northern winter. Adelaide and Darwin use Australian Central Time, usually 16 to 18.5 hours ahead depending on the season. Perth is on Australian Western Standard Time, generally 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles in northern summer and 16 hours ahead in northern winter. Always check close to departure, as both regions observe daylight saving on different dates.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Los Angeles 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.
