On the Cairns to Singapore sector, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class on the Airbus A350-900. On the onward Singapore to Delhi sector, the Boeing 787-10 also offers Business Class and Economy Class, giving you a consistent choice of cabins for the full journey.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy gardens, quiet rest areas, themed zones, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers, official transit tours into the city may be available if you meet the minimum connection time requirements. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Cairns, eligible customers may be able to relax in the Escape Lounge before boarding. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible travellers can access selected lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin and membership status.

If your Cairns to Delhi journey is booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your baggage through from Cairns to Delhi at check-in. You can then enjoy your layover at Singapore Changi Airport without collecting your checked baggage until you arrive in Delhi.

Cairns follows Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), which is UTC+10 all year, as it does not observe daylight saving time. Delhi uses India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30. Delhi is therefore 4 hours 30 minutes behind Cairns throughout the year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking with the nearest Indian diplomatic mission or official government website before you travel, and ensuring your passport, visa, and any supporting documents meet current entry conditions.

For international flights from Cairns to Delhi via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Cairns Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and a relaxed walk to your departure gate.

Indira Gandhi International Airport is connected to the city by metro, buses, and various private transfer services. Travel times depend on traffic and the area you are heading to, so it is helpful to check current options and timings on arrival, or arrange a transfer in advance if you prefer.

Delhis weather can be cool in winter and hot in summer, so pack light, breathable clothing for warmer months and layers for cooler evenings from November to February. Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and any personal medications are useful, and a light scarf or wrap can be handy for air-conditioned spaces.
