For journeys between the United Kingdom and Australia, Singapore Airlines generally applies the piece concept for checked baggage. Typical allowances are one or more checked baggage pieces with weight limits that vary by cabin class, with higher allowances in Business Class and First Class than in Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. Cabin baggage allowances also vary by cabin, with at least one carry-on item plus a personal item for all travellers. Exact allowances depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your booking confirmation or our baggage information page before you travel.

Most journeys from Manchester to Australia connect through Singapore Changi Airport. If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining a free Changi transit tour to see highlights of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing. For shorter layovers, stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport's gardens, rest areas, playgrounds, art installations, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Quiet zones and transit hotels are also available if you prefer to rest between flights. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Manchester operates on UK time (GMT in winter, GMT+1 in summer).

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