For flights between Busan and Kolkata, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi fares: 30kg) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg in weight.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your trip 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 on this route 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 service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic web browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning your usage accordingly during the flight.

On the Busan to Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous personal space.

On the Singapore to Kolkata sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class also provides a 32-inch pitch with up to 19 inches of seat width, designed for support on medium-haul flights. Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, giving you added comfort and privacy.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can join a free official transit tour into the city if your layover is at least around 5.5 to 6 hours and your schedule matches the tour timings. This is a convenient way to see highlights of Singapore between flights.

For shorter layovers, stay airside and enjoy Changi Airports facilities, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Selected terminals also feature entertainment zones and relaxation spaces.

If you prefer additional comfort, you can consider access to pay-per-use lounges or transit hotels located within the terminal buildings. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Busan Gimhae International Airport (PUS), eligible customers travelling on Singapore Airlines-operated flights may be able to access designated partner lounges, such as the Air Busan Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Access rules vary, so please check your booking or ask our airport staff for assistance.

If your layover in Singapore is long enough, you may choose to clear immigration and explore the city, provided you meet entry requirements. We recommend allowing sufficient time for immigration, transport, and security checks before your next flight. Always check visa rules and your boarding time before leaving the airport.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round. Kolkata follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) year-round. Kolkata is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Busan throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

You will arrive at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, located to the northeast of central Kolkata. After immigration and baggage collection, you can choose from public transport, pre-arranged transfers, or licensed taxis to reach the city. We recommend confirming your onward transport arrangements in advance for a smoother arrival.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. We recommend checking with the relevant Indian authorities or your local consulate before you book, and again before departure, to ensure your passport, visa, and entry documents meet the latest requirements.

Kolkata is generally warm to hot for much of the year, so lightweight, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are useful. Pack a light layer for air-conditioned indoor spaces and a compact umbrella or rain jacket if you are travelling during the monsoon months. Always keep essential medications in your cabin baggage.

For international flights from Busan to Kolkata via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Busan Gimhae International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before departure. This gives you time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, as well as a more relaxed start to your journey.
