For flights between the United States and Spain, the baggage allowance generally follows the piece concept. In Business Class, you usually enjoy a higher checked baggage allowance than in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Premium Economy Class offers more than Economy Class, while Economy Class provides a generous standard checked baggage allowance. All passengers may also bring cabin baggage on board, with size and weight limits varying by cabin class. Please refer to your ticket or booking confirmation for the exact allowance that applies to your journey and fare type.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from San Francisco to Spain once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; 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 Wi-Fi 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 reliably.

Most journeys from San Francisco to Spain with Singapore Airlines connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For a longer layover, you can join one of the airport's free transit tours into the city, subject to timing and availability, or simply relax in the terminals, where you will find indoor gardens, quiet rest zones, shower facilities, dining options, and extensive shopping. For shorter layovers, staying airside allows you to make the most of comfortable seating, charging points, and lounges. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it's an integral part of your journey.

Spain mostly follows Central European Time (CET) and Central European Summer Time (CEST). Barcelona is typically 9 hours ahead of San Francisco during San Francisco's Standard Time months, and 8 hours ahead when daylight saving time is in effect in California, usually from March to early November. Spain also observes daylight saving, so the exact difference can shift by one hour around the seasonal clock changes.

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