Singapore Airlines: Guide to selecting your preferred seat on board

Choosing the right seat can make your flight on Singapore Airlines a pleasant experience.

With Singapore Airlines’ “Seat Selection” option, passengers can choose their preferred seat and travel in the seat of their choice.

What are the seat selection fees on Singapore Airlines flights?

Of course, this service may be free for some and chargeable for others. This depends mainly on the fare chosen:

– Suites, First Class, or Business Class: Free

– Premium Economy Class: Free if selected in advance

– Economy Class: Paid, starting at 19 SGD.

If you don’t have a particular preference, you can choose your preferred option after booking your plane ticket and during online check-in, from 48 hours before departure.

Choose your seat online

On the website www.singaporeair.com, or by opening the Singapore Airlines app on your smartphone, you can choose your seat on the plane. In the Manage Booking space, passengers have access to the cabin map where they simply check a small box corresponding to the desired seat.

Changing a seat after flight check-in

If the passenger decides not to use the seat automatically assigned during flight check-in, they can choose another seat, even if their flight has already been checked in. They can select or change their seat up to 90 minutes before the flight.

Where to sit on the plane?

It mainly depends on your preferences:

For more comfort and space: Choose seats near the emergency exits, that way you’ll have more room to stretch your legs.

  • For greater peace and quiet: Choose a seat at the front of the plane. This allows you to sit away from the engines and avoid the rows near the lavatories.
  • Early disembarkation: For those in a hurry to leave the plane after landing, they should choose seats near the exit doors.
  • Window seats: For a breathtaking view. Window seats are perfect for admiring the scenery and sleeping undisturbed. They are highly recommended if you are traveling in the evening or on a long-haul flight.
  • For family travel: In this case, you should choose the middle rows with seats grouped together for greater convenience and proximity.

Choose a seat with extra legroom

Singapore Airlines offers seats that provide greater comfort by allowing passengers to stretch their legs during the flight. These seats are available in both Economy and Premium Economy.

These seats are deployed on short, medium, and long-haul flights and are located at the front of the cabin. Passengers have more legroom and can also enjoy extra legroom compared to other seats in the cabin, not to mention the included priority boarding option.

Bassinet seat for a comfortable trip with your child

For babies under 2 years old, Singapore Airlines offers a bassinet that is installed in front of the first rows, usually at bulkhead level. These seats are available in Economy and Premium Economy Class.

To use this option, passengers must request it in advance (by contacting the airline’s customer service).

It is important to note that the bassinet can accommodate a baby weighing up to 14 kg, while its dimensions are limited to:

Length: 76.8 cm

Width: 29.8 cm

Height: 15.8 cm

Which seat to choose if you are traveling with a child

Passengers traveling with their child have the option to select Standard seats at no extra cost, even if they are traveling on the Economy Lite fare.
