For flights between Surabaya and Chengdu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class at 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Business Class at 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg for safety reasons.

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. The exact allowance for your journey will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class, provided the membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

Non-members, or those who prefer not to register, can purchase access through paid Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Surabaya-Singapore sector, operated by the Airbus A350-900 or Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft and spacious reclining seats on the narrowbody.

On the Singapore-Chengdu sector, operated by the Boeing 787-10, Economy Class similarly offers around 32 inches of pitch and up to 19 inches of width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, designed for added privacy and rest on the longer flight.

On the Surabaya to Chengdu route via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class. These cabins are available across the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 737-8 MAX, and Boeing 787-10, giving you a consistent choice of comfort and service on both sectors of your journey.

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 a wide range of airside attractions, including indoor gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and family-friendly play zones. Shorter connections are comfortably spent exploring these facilities, enjoying a meal, or simply relaxing between flights.

For longer layovers, you may be able to join an official transit tour into the city if your connection meets the required minimum hours, or book an airport hotel for added rest. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Surabaya Juanda International Airport (SUB), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use partner lounge facilities, such as the Concordia Premier Lounge, before departing for Singapore. Access depends on your cabin class, fare type, or frequent flyer status, as shown on your boarding pass.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access is determined by your departing flight from Singapore.

Surabaya follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone, which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not change during the year. Chengdu is therefore 1 hour ahead of Surabaya throughout the year.

When you fly from Surabaya to Chengdu with Singapore Airlines, you will transit through Singapore Changi Airport. Your journey is split into two sectors, from Surabaya to Singapore and then from Singapore to Chengdu, with all connections handled within the same airport complex.

Singapore Airlines offers itineraries with a carefully planned minimum connecting time at Singapore Changi Airport, giving you enough time to change gates and, where needed, terminals. If you prefer a more relaxed connection, you can choose flights with a longer layover when you book.

On arrival in Chengdu, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and then pass through customs. As your baggage is typically checked through from Surabaya to Chengdu on a single ticket, you simply follow the arrival signs in Chengdu after disembarking your Singapore Airlines flight.

Visa and entry requirements for Chengdu, and any transit requirements for Singapore, depend on your nationality and travel documents. We recommend checking with the relevant embassies or official government websites, and reviewing the latest information before you travel.
