What is Singapore Airlines' baggage allowance in economy, premium and business?

Economy fares include 25 kg or 30 kg of checked baggage, Premium Economy 35 kg, Business 40 kg and Suites and First 50 kg. That total is a weight, not a bag count, so you can split it across several bags as long as none weighs over 32 kg. The weight concept covers every route except flights to or from the USA and Canada, which use pieces.

Singapore Airlines says your final destination decides whether the weight or the piece concept applies to your ticket.

CABIN WEIGHT CONCEPT (MOST ROUTES) PIECE CONCEPT (USA, CANADA)
Economy Lite, Value 25 kg 2 x 23 kg
Economy Standard, Flexi 30 kg 2 x 23 kg
Premium Economy 35 kg 2 x 23 kg
Business 40 kg 2 x 32 kg
Suites and First 50 kg 2 x 32 kg

How much checked baggage do Economy Lite, Value, Standard and Flexi include?

Lite and Value include 25 kg; Standard and Flexi include 30 kg. On flights to or from the USA and Canada the fare stops mattering, because every Economy ticket gets two pieces of 23 kg each. Cabin baggage is the same on all four: one bag of 7 kg plus one small extra item.

How much does extra baggage cost on Singapore Airlines?

From Singapore, extra weight at the airport costs USD 8 per kg to Southeast Asia and up to USD 28 per kg to Europe and Africa. Buying online more than 48 hours ahead cuts that to USD 6 and USD 21. On US and Canada flights you pay per piece instead: USD 150 to USD 350 for an extra bag at the airport.

The prepaid discount does not apply to piece concept tickets or to itineraries with a stopover.

FROM SINGAPORE TO AIRPORT, PER KG PREPAID OVER 48H, PER KG
Band 1 (Southeast Asia) USD 8 USD 6
Band 2 (North Asia, South Asia, Middle East) USD 15 USD 11.3
Band 3 (Australia, New Zealand) USD 22 USD 16.5
Band 4 (Europe, Africa) USD 28 USD 21

What are the overweight and oversize fees on US flights?

USD 100 to USD 225 is the airport charge for either an extra 9 kg on a bag or a bag over 158 cm (62 in). The overweight charge lets an Economy bag go from 23 kg up to the 32 kg ceiling. Bicycles are exempt from the oversize charge.

Extra piece USD 150 to 350 USD 120 to 280
Extra 9 kg (up to 32 kg) USD 100 to 225 USD 80 to 180

KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold members get an extra 20 kg, and Elite Silver members an extra 10 kg. PPS Club doubles the base allowance, so a Flexi passenger goes from 30 kg to 60 kg. On US and Canada flights, PPS Club adds 2 pieces and Elite Gold adds 1. These extras apply only on flights Singapore Airlines operates, not codeshares.

Can you fly with a pet on Singapore Airlines?

Yes, but only cats and dogs at least 3 months old, and only as checked baggage in the hold. No pets travel in the cabin. The pet and its container sit outside your free allowance and are charged at excess baggage rates. Boeing 737 flights carry no pets, and destinations including Australia, New Zealand, London Heathrow, Dubai and Hong Kong are excluded. Give the airline at least 2 weeks of notice.

Snub-nosed breeds such as pugs, bulldogs and Persian cats are on the airline's banned list.

Does sports equipment count toward the allowance?

Yes, golf, ski, snowboard, surf, scuba and bicycle gear all count toward your checked allowance, packed in a protective bag or hard case. Bicycles skip the oversize charge. Small instruments such as a violin can go in the cabin if the case stays within 115 cm and 7 kg.

?

Frequently asked

Yes. On weight concept routes the allowance is a total, so 30 kg can go in two or three bags. No single bag may weigh more than 32 kg.
