Our menus feature a mix of Asian and international flavours, along with snacks on selected flights.

Flights between India and South Korea generally use the weight-concept baggage policy. In Economy Class, you usually have a checked baggage allowance starting from 25kg. In Business Class, the allowance is higher, often from 40kg. Cabin baggage is typically one piece plus a personal item in Economy Class, and up to two pieces plus a personal item in Business Class, within published size and weight limits. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket for details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Kolkata to South Korea once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is in your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and additional users can purchase suitable plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Kolkata to South Korea via Singapore, you can travel in Business Class or Economy Class. The Kolkata to Singapore sector and onward flights to both Seoul and Busan offer these two cabins, though the seat layout and design may differ slightly between the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-10, and Boeing 737-8 MAX.

In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, depending on the aircraft type. In Business Class, seats convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access on widebody aircraft and generous recline and legroom on narrowbody aircraft, designed to give you space to work, dine, or rest comfortably.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Korea. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass 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.

Most journeys from Kolkata to South Korea connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which is designed for easy and pleasant transits. For shorter layovers, you can explore indoor gardens, art installations, play areas, and quiet rest zones, or freshen up with showers in selected facilities. With a longer connection, you can consider a transit hotel or, if timing allows and you meet entry requirements, a quick visit into the city on efficient public transport. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Kolkata follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), while South Korea, including Seoul and Busan, follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9:00). South Korea does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference remains a consistent 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Kolkata throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in South Korea when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to South Korea, 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.
