On routes such as Paris to Australia, flights generally use the weight-concept baggage allowance between Europe and Australia. In Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, you are typically allowed a set total weight of checked baggage, while Business Class, First Class and Suites usually include a higher checked baggage allowance. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within specified size and weight limits, which vary by cabin. Exact entitlements depend on your route, fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please check your e-ticket or our website for your personalised allowance before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Europe to Australia once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; if you are travelling in Economy Class or Premium Economy Class, please ensure your membership number is added to your booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to enjoy complimentary access. Non-members, or those who prefer, 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 reliably.

Across the network of routes from Europe to Australia via Singapore, we offer several cabin classes depending on the aircraft and city pair. Economy Class is available on all routes, offering comfortable seating and inflight entertainment. Premium Economy Class is offered on many Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER services, providing extra space and added amenities.
Business Class is widely available, with lie-flat seats on long-haul sectors between Europe, Singapore and Australia for restful sleep. On selected routes, especially those operated by the Airbus A380-800 and some Boeing 777-300ER flights, you may also have access to First Class or Suites. Not every aircraft features every cabin, so available classes will vary between departure cities and specific flights.

On flights from Europe to Australia, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, giving you a comfortable amount of legroom for long-haul travel. Premium Economy Class provides a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, offering extra space to stretch out.
In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with direct aisle access on long-haul aircraft such as the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A380-800, so you can rest more deeply on overnight sectors. On selected routes, First Class and Suites also feature fully flat beds and additional personal space. Cabin configurations can differ between aircraft and city pairs, so seat layout and exact measurements may vary slightly depending on the flight you choose.

Most flights from Europe to Australia connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers a wide range of ways to spend your layover. For longer transits, you can join one of the airport's complimentary transit tours into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or simply enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest areas and walking trails within the terminals. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore the airport's shopping, dining, and relaxation facilities, including spas, transit hotels and family zones.
If you prefer to rest, consider booking a room at an airport hotel or using one of the pay-per-use lounges for a shower and a nap between flights. Clear signage and efficient security checks make it easy to move between terminals and reach your next gate in good time.
Whether you explore the terminal, relax in a lounge or join a city tour, your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Australia spans several time zones, and time differences with Europe vary by both city and season. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane generally observe Australian Eastern Time, which is usually 9 to 11 hours ahead of Central European Time, depending on daylight saving in each region. Perth, on Australian Western Time, is typically 7 to 9 hours ahead of Central Europe, while Darwin and other Northern Territory locations use a half-hour offset.
Many European countries served by our flights, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland, follow Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) from roughly late March to late October. The United Kingdom follows Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) in summer, while Turkey remains on UTC+3 all year.
Because Australia and Europe do not always change clocks on the same dates, the exact time difference shifts during the year. Before you travel from cities such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Zurich, Munich or Istanbul, check a reliable world clock or our website for up-to-date local times in your departure and arrival cities.

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.
