Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected flights from Singapore can pre-select main courses in advance through our Book the Cook service. This allows you to choose from a wider range of dishes before you travel, subject to route and aircraft.

Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. A signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, alongside a curated choice of wines and spirits.

For flights between Chengdu and Ho Chi Minh City, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers may bring 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may take 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class passengers may take 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your trip will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights 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. Non-members can purchase plans on board.

The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers. Service availability may vary slightly by aircraft and route segment.

On both the Chengdu–Singapore and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City sectors, Economy Class typically offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing a comfortable amount of legroom for regional travel.

Business Class on these flights features seats that convert into fully flat beds, with direct aisle access for every passenger on the Airbus A350-900 and a spacious layout on the Boeing 787-10, giving you room to work, dine, and rest.

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 passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and frequent flyer 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 Chengdu but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is designed for comfortable and engaging layovers, with themed gardens, art installations, rest areas, and shower facilities across its terminals. If you have a shorter connection, you can stay airside, relax in quiet zones, or enjoy the airport’s many dining and retail options.

For longer layovers of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider the official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and operating schedules, which lets you see highlights of Singapore between your flights. Alternatively, airport hotels and nap facilities provide a convenient place to rest without leaving the terminal.

Whether you choose to explore or unwind, clear signage, efficient security, and frequent terminal shuttle services make moving around straightforward. 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, which is UTC+8 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. Ho Chi Minh City uses Indochina Time, which is UTC+7 and also does not change during the year. This means Ho Chi Minh City is 1 hour behind Chengdu at all times.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City 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–Ho Chi Minh City) 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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–Ho Chi Minh City 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.
