Flights from Busan (PUS) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals appropriate to the time of day on both the Busan to Singapore and Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City sectors, with flavours inspired by the regions you are flying between.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which must be requested before departure. You can select from our available options during booking or via Manage Booking prior to your flight.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected sectors of our network can pre-order from an extended menu using our Book the Cook service. Availability depends on your specific flight sector and should be confirmed when you book.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is served throughout the flight, and our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, alongside juices and soft drinks.

For flights between Busan and Ho Chi Minh City, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite and Value fares: 25kg; Standard and Flexi: 30kg) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: one piece up to 7kg in Economy Class, and two pieces each up to 7kg in Business Class. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, though 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 connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Busan to Singapore and Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing good comfort for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 sector, and a spacious recliner seat designed for work or rest on the Boeing 737-8 MAX sector.

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.

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 Busan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible passengers may be invited to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy extensive facilities including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and themed zones across the terminals. For longer layovers, you may wish to join an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a minimum connection time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. Shorter transits are well spent exploring the airport’s attractions, such as curated art displays, viewing galleries, and relaxation areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Busan operates on Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City uses Indochina Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving. This means Ho Chi Minh City is 2 hours behind Busan throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport when flying from Busan 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 (Busan–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City) 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Busan–Ho Chi Minh City 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.
