KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure to benefit.

On both the Brisbane–Singapore and Singapore–Manchester sectors, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for long flights. Business Class features a fully flat bed and every seat has direct aisle access, giving you more personal space and comfort for rest on both sectors.

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 Brisbane but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to layovers of all lengths. With at least about 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining one of the airport's organised city tours, which show you highlights of Singapore while keeping your transit simple. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly attractions in the terminals.

The airport also offers quiet zones, snooze areas, spa facilities, and transit hotels if you prefer to rest between flights. Dining and shopping options are extensive, so you can stretch your legs, enjoy a meal, or pick up travel essentials before continuing to Manchester. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Brisbane operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and does not observe daylight saving. Manchester follows Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. This means Manchester is typically 10 hours behind Brisbane in UK winter, and 9 hours behind in UK summer.

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