Flights between Spain (ES) and Australia (AU) use the weight concept for checked baggage. Allowances vary by cabin class and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

In general, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class include a generous checked baggage allowance, with higher limits in Business Class and First Class. All customers may bring cabin baggage within size and weight limits appropriate to their cabin; we recommend checking your e-ticket or our website for the specific allowance for your booking.

Wi-Fi is available on most aircraft operating between Spain and Australia, becoming active above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi when their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure, including in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class. Non-members can purchase access 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.

Most journeys from Spain to Australia with Singapore Airlines include a layover at Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see highlights such as the Marina Bay area before returning to the airport. For shorter connections, it is easy to stay airside and enjoy Changi’s gardens, art installations, rest areas, shops, and dining, or relax in a lounge or airport hotel. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Spain generally operates on Central European Time (UTC+1) and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. Australia spans several time zones: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are on the east coast, while Adelaide and Darwin follow central time variants and Perth uses Western Australian time. Some Australian states observe daylight saving, typically from early October to early April, which can create a time difference of around 8 to 10 hours between Spain and cities such as Sydney or Melbourne, and 6 to 8 hours with Perth, depending on the month and direction of travel.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Australia 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 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.
