For flights between Penang and Hanoi, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. 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 from Penang to Hanoi 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 browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Penang–Singapore and Singapore–Hanoi sectors, Economy Class seats offer around 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous space and direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 sector, and spacious reclining seats with ample legroom 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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible travellers may be able to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and 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 Penang but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

If you have at least 5.5 hours between flights, you can consider joining one of Singapore Changi Airport's free transit tour programmes, which offer a glimpse of the city without needing to manage your own arrangements. For shorter layovers, staying airside gives you access to gardens, themed zones, and quiet rest areas.

Within the terminals, you will find features such as indoor greenery, play areas, and nap-friendly seating, along with shower facilities and transit hotels for longer rests. Dining options range from quick snacks to sit-down meals, so you can refuel at your own pace.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Penang follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Hanoi follows Indochina Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving time. This means Hanoi is 1 hour behind Penang throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi when flying from Penang 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 (Penang–Singapore and Singapore–Hanoi) 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 Hanoi 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 Penang–Hanoi 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.
