Flights from Chengdu (TFU) to Brisbane (BNE)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both the Chengdu–Singapore and Singapore–Brisbane sectors, with menus designed to suit the time of day and regional flavours, and complimentary meals provided in Economy Class and Business Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet specific dietary needs on this route. You can request these in advance through our Manage Booking portal, and they will be served alongside the regular meal service.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in selected premium cabins on Singapore Airlines flights can reserve specially created main courses in advance through our Book the Cook service, available from Singapore on many routes, subject to the specific flight and cabin.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, along with a curated range of alcoholic beverages.

For flights between Chengdu and Brisbane, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage: in Economy Class, Lite and Value fares include 25kg, while Standard and Flexi fares include 30kg. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. 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 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. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Chengdu–Singapore Boeing 787-10 sector and the Singapore–Brisbane Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of around 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width. In Business Class on both sectors, you have a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

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 Chengdu 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 relax in lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership status.

If you have enough time between flights, Singapore Changi Airport offers a complimentary city tour for eligible transit passengers with layovers of around 5.5 hours or more, allowing you to see highlights of the city before returning for your onward flight. Please check the latest requirements and timings before you travel.

For shorter layovers, staying airside at Changi Airport is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest areas, and attractions such as play zones, art installations, and viewing galleries. You can also explore the shops and dining options spread across the terminals.

Those with longer connections may wish to book an airport hotel room or use nap areas to rest, then enjoy a meal or some light shopping before boarding. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Chengdu follows China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Brisbane follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Brisbane is 2 hours ahead of Chengdu throughout the year.

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