Flights from Busan (PUS) to Penang (PEN)

In-flight Dining
On the longer Busan–Singapore sector, you will be served a thoughtfully prepared meal in both Business Class and Economy Class, designed to suit the timing of your overnight journey.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on the Busan–Singapore sector, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking manager so we can meet your specific dietary needs.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class passengers on this route can use our Book the Cook service on the Busan–Singapore sector, allowing you to choose from a wider selection of main courses before you fly.

Beverage Service
Throughout your journey, you can enjoy a range of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, and other refreshments, with our signature Singapore Sling available on board.

Please note that no meal service is provided for Economy Class passengers on the Singapore–Penang segment due to the short flight time.

For flights between Busan and Penang, the weight-concept baggage policy applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class passengers enjoy a 40kg checked baggage allowance, and each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

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

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members should ensure their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans on board. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Busan–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access. On the Singapore–Penang sector, you will fly on the Boeing 737-8 MAX as well, with the same Economy Class legroom and Business Class fully flat beds, giving you consistent comfort on both legs.

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 Busan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers can relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities for a comfortable and engaging layover. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider joining one of the airport’s official transit tours into the city, subject to availability and entry requirements. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining options without leaving the terminal.

Those seeking relaxation can look for quiet zones, snooze areas, or airport hotels for a few hours of rest. Travellers wanting to stay active can explore the terminals, discover art installations, or take advantage of spa services where available. Clear signage and friendly staff make it easy to move between terminals during your connection.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Busan operates on Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Penang operates on Malaysia Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving time. This means Penang is 1 hour behind Busan throughout the year, so when it is 12.00pm in Busan, it is 11.00am in Penang.

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