Singapore Airlines Baggage Policy, Baggage Allowance, baggage fee

When planning a trip, understanding your airline's baggage allowance is crucial to avoid any unnecessary fees or inconveniences. If you're considering flying with Singapore Airlines, you're in luck as their baggage policy is well-defined and easy to follow.

Carry-On Baggage Allowance

Passengers traveling in Suites, First Class, and Business Class are allowed two pieces of hand baggage and one personal item. The handbag should not weigh more than 15.4lb/7kg and measure more than 115cm/45in combined dimensions, while the personal item should not exceed 40cm x 30cm x 10cm (15.7in x 11.8in x 3.9in). Economy and Premium Economy passengers are allowed one piece of hand baggage and one personal item, both of which should meet the same size and weight requirements.

Infants traveling on Singapore Airlines are allowed a carry-on baggage allowance of 13.2lb/6kg for infant food (including breast milk) and amenities, in addition to 15.4lb/7kg of free baggage allowance. A light collapsible stroller may also be included, subject to certain requirements.

Checked Baggage Allowance

The checked baggage allowance on Singapore Airlines flights varies based on the travel class and route. On flights to and from the United States, the allowance is based on the piece concept. Economy and Premium Economy classes are allowed two pieces of up to 50lb/23kg each, while Business and First Class passengers are allowed two pieces of up to 70lb/32kg each. For other flights, the allowance is based on the weight concept and varies by class. Economy passengers can check in up to 77lb/35kg of baggage, while Business and First Class passengers can check in up to 110lb/50kg.

Extra Baggage Allowance for Members

Members of the PPS Club are entitled to a 100% extra baggage allowance in all classes, while KrisFlyer Elite Gold Club and Star Alliance Gold Club members are allowed to bring one extra piece of baggage in all classes. Infants are allowed one bag of 50lb/23kg or 70lb/32kg (depending on the travel class), along with one pushchair/fully collapsible stroller and a car seat/carry-cot.

Important Things to Note

It is important to note that checked baggage should not exceed 70lb/32kg in weight and 158cm/62in in combined dimensions. Any excess baggage is subject to fees that range from USD 8-56 per kilo, depending on the route and flight type. Sports equipment such as golf equipment, scuba diving equipment, surfboards, bicycles, and ski equipment, among others, counts as part of your standard baggage allowance. Any excess sporting equipment is subject to standard excess baggage fees, and on flights to and from the United States, most sporting equipment is treated as one piece of baggage, except for canoes, which count as two pieces.

Lastly, it is important to purchase any additional baggage allowance online at least 48 hours before departure, as this is 10-25% cheaper than buying it at the airport (excluding flights departing from India). Adhering to Singapore Airlines' baggage policy will ensure a seamless and stress-free travel experience.
