In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers enjoy a 40kg checked baggage allowance. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Surabaya and Chengdu 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. Non-members can purchase access plans on board.

The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic web browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers. Coverage and performance may vary slightly between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 737-8 MAX, and Boeing 787-10 aircraft.

On the Surabaya–Singapore sector, 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 generous personal space, depending on whether you fly on the Airbus A350-900 or Boeing 737-8 MAX.

On the Singapore–Chengdu sector operated by the Boeing 787-10, Economy Class also offers around 32 inches of pitch and up to 19 inches of seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

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, eligible customers may be invited to use the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Surabaya but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If your connection time allows, Singapore Changi Airport offers an official free transit tour for passengers with longer layovers, typically requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This gives you the option of a brief guided visit to see highlights of the city before returning to the airport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable. You can explore themed gardens, rest zones, and entertainment areas, or simply relax at quiet seating spaces near your departure gate. Airport hotels and snooze areas allow you to rest between flights if you prefer a quieter break.

Whichever option you choose, follow the signs for transit security and lounge areas, and always keep an eye on boarding times for your Chengdu flight. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Surabaya follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone, which is UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu follows the Asia/Harbin time zone, which is UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Chengdu is 1 hour ahead of Surabaya throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chengdu when flying from Surabaya via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Surabaya–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Chengdu is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Surabaya–Chengdu trip, 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.
