For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, and Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your journey will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Brisbane to Chongqing once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 737-8 MAX sectors between Brisbane, Singapore, and Chongqing, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable space for most travellers. Business Class features seats that convert into fully flat beds, with every seat offering direct aisle access on the Airbus A350-900 and a spacious layout on the Boeing 737-8 MAX.

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.

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 Brisbane but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, longer connections allow you to consider the official free city tour programmes, which typically require a minimum transit time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These tours give you a brief introduction to the city before you return comfortably to the terminal.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very convenient, with themed gardens, rest areas, entertainment zones, and a wide variety of dining options. You can also take advantage of quiet seating areas and shower facilities in selected parts of the airport to refresh.

If you prefer to relax, consider spending time in an airport hotel or designated rest zones between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Brisbane is in the Australia/Brisbane time zone, which is typically UTC+10 and does not observe daylight saving time. Chongqing is in the Asia/Chongqing time zone, usually UTC+8 and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Chongqing is generally 2 hours behind Brisbane throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport when flying from Brisbane 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 (Brisbane–Singapore and Singapore–Chongqing) 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 Chongqing 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 Brisbane–Chongqing 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.
