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 connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any high-bandwidth activities for before or after your flight.

Economy Class provides approximately 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, designed for comfort on this medium-haul flight.

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 have many ways to spend your time comfortably. For longer transits, you can join a free city tour if your layover meets the minimum duration required by the official programme, giving you a brief introduction to Singapore.

For shorter layovers, remaining airside is convenient and relaxing. Changi Airport offers themed gardens, quiet zones for rest, children’s play areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. Selected terminals also feature attractions such as indoor waterfalls or walking trails. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

When departing from Surabaya, eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may be invited to use the Concordia Premier Lounge at Juanda International Airport (SUB). Lounge access depends on your cabin class, KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status, and the conditions of your ticket.

During your transit at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Your lounge entitlement is based on the details of your onward flight to Colombo.

Surabaya follows Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Colombo follows Sri Lanka Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving time. Colombo is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes behind Surabaya throughout the year.

On this route you will depart from Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya. After a transit at Singapore Changi Airport, you will arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), the main international gateway serving Colombo and its surrounding region.

We recommend arriving at Juanda International Airport at least 2 hours before departure if you are travelling in Economy Class, and slightly earlier if you prefer a more relaxed experience or need to check in baggage. This allows time for check-in, security, and immigration formalities.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay in Sri Lanka. We recommend checking with the official Sri Lankan immigration authorities or your nearest Sri Lankan mission, and reviewing any transit requirements for Singapore before you travel.

On arrival at Bandaranaike International Airport, follow signs for immigration, baggage claim, and customs. After exiting the arrivals hall, you will find counters for transport, information desks, and waiting areas. It is advisable to confirm local transport options and routes in advance of your trip.
