KrisFlyer members enjoy free and 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 users can choose from paid plans. The service is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Riyadh to Vietnam connect at Singapore Changi Airport, which is compact, well-signed, and close to the city. For longer layovers, you can consider the official free transit tour when available, allowing you to see key sights without handling immigration logistics on your own. For shorter connections, it is easy to stay airside, explore the themed gardens, rest areas, art installations, and entertainment zones, or relax with a shower and a meal. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) all year. Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi, uses Indochina Time (UTC+7) without daylight saving. Vietnam is typically 4 hours ahead of Riyadh throughout the year.

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