In-flight dining includes multi-course meals in Business Class and thoughtfully prepared dishes in Economy Class, inspired by regional flavours and seasonal ingredients.

Flights between Australia and South Korea generally use the piece concept for checked baggage. In Business Class, you can usually check two pieces of baggage with a higher weight per piece, while Economy Class includes at least one checked bag. Cabin baggage allowances apply in both cabins, typically one main carry-on plus a small personal item. Exact entitlements depend on your ticket type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your booking for full details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Adelaide to South Korea once the aircraft is 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. Non-members and additional devices can use paid Wi-Fi plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On routes from Adelaide to both Seoul and Busan, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. While cabin layouts can vary slightly between the Boeing 787-10 and the Boeing 737-8 MAX, both offer a dedicated Business Class cabin and a comfortable Economy Class cabin on each sector.

In Economy Class, you can expect around a 32-inch seat pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing good legroom for the journey. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, offering generous personal space and direct aisle access on the Boeing 787-10, and a spacious recliner or lie-flat style seat on the Boeing 737-8 MAX, depending on configuration.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to South Korea. Eligibility is based on your class of travel or KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, determined by the flight departing the layover airport. Other options such as purchasing a day pass are also available.

Most journeys from Adelaide to South Korea connect through Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, quiet zones, walking trails, and extensive dining options inside the terminals. For longer layovers, you can consider the free city transit tour when available, or visit the rooftop pool, butterfly garden, and other themed spaces airside. Shorter connections are comfortable with plenty of seating, showers in selected lounges, and convenient wayfinding between gates. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

South Korea uses Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving. Adelaide usually operates on Australian Central Standard Time (ACST, UTC+9.5) and Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT, UTC+10.5). This means Seoul and Busan are typically 30 minutes behind Adelaide in winter, and 1.5 hours behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in South Korea 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 South Korea, 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.
