Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights between Istanbul and Delhi once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. Wi-Fi is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

On the Istanbul to Singapore sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class seats offer a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for every seat.

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. Eligible passengers may be able to use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and status.

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

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join one of the official free transit tours into the city, which usually require a minimum layover of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These tours offer a convenient way to see key highlights without managing city logistics yourself. For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, rest areas, shower facilities, and quiet corners to relax between flights.

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

Istanbul follows Turkey Time (TRT), which is UTC+3 year-round. Delhi follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 year-round. Delhi is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Istanbul at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi when flying from Istanbul 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 (Istanbul–Singapore and Singapore–Delhi) 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 Delhi 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 Istanbul–Delhi 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.
