Flights between the United States of America and Brunei Darussalam generally use the piece concept for checked baggage. For Economy Class, Premium Economy Class, and Business Class, checked baggage allowances vary by cabin and fare type, while cabin baggage limits are designed so you can keep essentials close at hand. You can view the exact allowance for your booking during purchase or in Manage Booking, using your class of travel and ticket details.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; 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 usage can be covered by paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

From San Francisco to Singapore on the Airbus A350-900, you can travel in Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class, depending on the flight. On the Singapore to Bandar Seri Begawan Boeing 737-8 MAX sector, you can choose between Business Class and Economy Class. The exact combination of cabins on your journey may vary by flight and date.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of width. In Business Class, your seat converts into a fully flat bed, with every seat providing direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900. Cabin layouts may differ slightly between the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 737-8 MAX, but all are designed to maximise comfort on your journey.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Brunei Darussalam. 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 San Francisco to Brunei Darussalam connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and timing, to see key landmarks before returning to your gate. Shorter layovers are well spent airside, where you can visit themed gardens, rest areas, play zones, and a wide choice of dining. You might also relax in a lounge, book a spa treatment, or swim at the airport pool in selected terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Bandar Seri Begawan, and Brunei Darussalam as a whole, follows Brunei Darussalam Time (BNT), which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. San Francisco follows Pacific Time, which is typically UTC-8, shifting to UTC-7 from roughly March to early November. This means Brunei Darussalam is usually 16 hours ahead of San Francisco in winter and 15 hours ahead in summer.

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