For flights between Perth and Chengdu, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class (Lite/Value fares: 25kg; Standard/Flexi: 30kg) and Business Class (40kg). Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class (1 piece, up to 7kg) and Business Class (2 pieces, each up to 7kg).

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Perth to Chengdu once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Perth–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access on both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10 services.

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 Perth but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. Eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge in Singapore, subject to operating hours and capacity.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities, making even short layovers comfortable. For transits of at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining one of the official free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter connections, stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and entertainment zones across the terminals. Airport hotels and snooze areas are convenient if you wish to rest or freshen up between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Perth follows Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chengdu operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year round. This means there is typically no time difference between Perth and Chengdu throughout the year, making it easy to adjust on arrival.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chengdu when flying from Perth 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 (Perth–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 Perth–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.
