We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit different dietary needs. Please place your request when booking or via Manage Booking before you travel.

Eligible customers in premium cabins on selected sectors can pre-order from a wider menu through our Book the Cook service. This allows you to choose your main course in advance for a more personalised dining experience.

For flights between Brisbane and Xiamen, 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). Your final allowance is stated on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

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

On both the Brisbane–Singapore Airbus A350-900 sector and the Singapore–Xiamen Boeing 737-8 MAX sector, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous width, plus direct aisle access or easy aisle reach depending on the seat layout.

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 Brisbane but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

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

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to make your layover enjoyable, from themed gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and shower facilities. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside, enjoy a meal, explore the terminals, or simply relax in comfortable seating zones.

If your layover is at least 5.5 to 6 hours and your schedule permits, you can consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, which allow you to see key sights before returning for your onward flight. Be sure to check the latest timings and eligibility on arrival.

For longer connections, you might book an airport hotel or snooze area to rest between flights, then take time to explore the airport’s shops and dining options before boarding. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10 and does not observe daylight saving time. Xiamen follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not use daylight saving time. This means Xiamen is 2 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport when flying from Brisbane 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 (Brisbane–Singapore and Singapore–Xiamen) 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 Xiamen 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 Brisbane–Xiamen 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.
