Singapore Airlines: What You Need to Know Right Now

Looking for straightforward news and smart tips about Singapore Airlines? You’re in the right place. Here we cut through the noise with updates you can use, whether you’re booking a long-haul flight, tracking service changes, or managing a KrisFlyer balance.

Singapore Airlines often shows up in global travel headlines — for route changes, fleet updates, partnerships and cabin innovations. If you fly between Africa and Asia, or plan one-stop connections through Singapore, these are the details that affect your trip: schedules, baggage rules, disruptive events and loyalty benefits.

Booking, fares and finding the best deals

Want a lower fare? Check round-trip versus one-way pricing, use flexible dates and set fare alerts. Singapore Airlines frequently releases sales on certain routes, so sign up for their newsletter or follow fare trackers. If you need travel protection, read the fare rules before you buy — some discounted tickets have strict change and refund limits.

Use codeshares and alliances to your advantage. Singapore Airlines is part of a major airline alliance, so you can sometimes book a single ticket that combines partners and still earn miles. Always verify baggage allowances and connection times when a codeshare is involved.

Onboard experience, seats and luggage

Seats and service can differ a lot by aircraft and cabin class. Economy, premium economy, business and first-class each have clear perks, so match the cabin to what matters most: sleep, space or price. Check seat maps before you choose — some long-haul planes have better legroom or quieter sections.

Baggage rules matter. Allowances vary by route and ticket type, and excess baggage fees can be steep. We recommend weighing and measuring bags before heading to the airport and adding extra allowance online if needed — it’s almost always cheaper than paying at the counter.

Got special needs or dietary requests? Tell the airline when you book or at least 48 hours before departure. That’s the most reliable way to get the service you want.

Frequent flyers should use KrisFlyer smartly. Redeem miles for upgrades or award flights, but compare the cash price first — sometimes paid tickets plus occasional sales give better value. Keep an eye on partner redemptions as well.

Travel disruptions happen. If your flight is delayed or canceled, contact Singapore Airlines first, then your travel insurer. Save confirmation numbers and screenshots — they speed up refunds or rebooking. If you’re connecting through Singapore, allow extra time when your itinerary mixes different carriers.
