How much baggage does Singapore Airlines allow?

When one sets for their flight then one has to keep in mind the limitations or say the weight. However certain limitations and restrictions are important to know as they differ from country to airline as well. Since you won't have access to your baggage Singapore airlines recommends that you carry your essentials like documents, medicines, and all other valuables. And for sure it's recommended to label your baggage with your name and contact details- so that in case it's lost or misplaced it can reach you directly. Below different baggage limitations are mentioned to help you out with your packing, Here, it is:

  • As for the Suites, First Class, Business, and Class, only 2 (two) pieces of baggage are allowed. Which should be 7 kg each. However, the sum total of length, width, and height of each piece should not exceed 115 cm.
  • With Premium, Economy class, and Economy class only 1 piece of bag is allowed to the passengers. Which is supposed to be 7 kgs each. However, the sum total of length, width, and height of your bag should not exceed 115 cm.

The overhead compartments are not overweight and safe for all the other passengers; it is important to ensure the cabin is not cluttered and has enough space. Besides, if your bag is more than the permissible weight then it will be collected and put in the aircraft compartment. One the travelers probably need to pay for the excess baggage, if the total or say the single piece is more than the free baggage allowances. Singapore Airlines and every airline hold the right to determine if the baggage or items in your baggage are not permitted in the cabin.

Note: Read thoroughly the Singapore Airlines baggage policy and help yourself to pack accordingly.

Are there any additional items allowed by the airlines?

One is permitted to take the below-mentioned items in your baggage without any charges. They are as follows:

  • Camera/Camera Bag
  • Handbag
  • Document bag
  • Overcoat
  • Umbrella
  • Laptop
  • Amenities of the infant for on board. And which should not be more than 6 kgs.
  • A small number of duty-free products (items) are also permitted.

Permissible Food Items

Many times it happens that when one is traveling to a country for the first time--one may want to backpack some dry food or some candies. No wonder that some countries have way too strict regulations on the food items that one can carry or not. And in case you want to take in some food stuff then it is recommended to check with the airline authorities before one flys.

So, when traveling to your desired destination then visit the website of the airlines and learn about the food that is allowed. For Singapore, visit the SFA (Singapore Food Agency) for information on the types of food and the quantities that are allowed in the country. And in case you still have some doubt then connect with the Singapore Customer Service and get assistance at the earliest.

The checked baggage allowance indicated above may not apply to travelers traveling on mixed-cabin itineraries (for example, First Class combining with Business Class or Premium Economy Class combined with Economy Class). Please consult your e-tickets for the precise checked luggage allowance that applies to your flights if you are traveling on such itineraries.

Cabin Baggage Checked

During check-in and before boarding, we will conduct inspections on our flights. Cabin baggage exceeding the permitted limits needs to be checked in at check-in. Cabin baggage that exceeds the permitted limits will be gathered and kept in the aircraft cargo compartment prior to boarding. If the aggregate weight or pieces of the bags that have already been checked in exceed your checked baggage allowance, an excess baggage charge may be applied.

Please follow the restrictions of Singapore Airlines baggage policy on the weight and size of carry-on bags in order to expedite security checks and guarantee your safety as well as the safety of our cabin staff and of other passengers as well. This will reduce the possibility of injury resulting from overstuffed bags toppling from the overhead compartments. If a passenger's cabin luggage weighs more than the allowed amount, they must check-in. Additionally, this will make it easier for the crew and other passengers to move around the airplane cabin and keep it clutter-free.

When flying with Other airlines

In case you have connecting flights and that on other airlines then the baggage allowances for the entire itinerary on the single reservations, conjunction tickets, and even on separate tickets will be different on every ticket and will be applied as per the regulations.
Get familiar with the two terms when you are flying with other airlines:

  • The airline that offers flight tickets is referred to as the 'marketing carrier.'
  • The airline whose code appears on the ticket for the longest or most significant portion of the travel is designated as the 'Most Significant Marketing Carrier.'
