Whenever Singapore Airlines passengers are flying with this airline, they should always check its baggage policy, i.e., inquire about the limits in terms of the number of pieces, their weight, and their dimensions. Otherwise, any excess means they must pay a surcharge before boarding.
Most passengers are concerned about the dimensions of their carry-on luggage, but in your case—to avoid any unpleasant surprises—you should also consider the size of the luggage you’ll be checking in.
Baggage allowance: Number, weight and size limits
Not only should you pay attention to the size of your luggage, but also its weight. You should consider the weight of your carry-on baggage and checked luggage to avoid any additional charges.
According to Singapore Airlines rules, each piece of baggage must weigh 32 kg or less and measure 162 cm or less. The number of bags a passenger is allowed to check in is determined by their ticket price, itinerary, and KrisFlyer loyalty program status.

Singapore Airlines does not accept baggage that exceeds 158 cm (62 inches) in all dimensions.
Please note that if you wish to check in overweight or bulky baggage, you must opt to purchase an additional baggage, but please be aware that Singapore Airlines does not allow you to travel with baggage that weighs more than 32kg or measures more than 200cm.
What to do in case of excess baggage?
When you fly with Singapore Airlines, you should know that it closely monitors the weight and size of your luggage to make sure it does not exceed the size and weight limits.
The Singapore airline specifies that hand luggage exceeding the limits cannot be checked until the passenger pays an additional cost (Consult the excess luggages fees), likewise if he wants to check-in an additional number of baggage in the hold.
How much liquid can I bring in my checked baggage?
For some passengers who absolutely need to bring certain liquid products on board a Singapore Airlines flight, such as cream, foundation, contact lens products, etc., which will be transported according to airport and airline regulations, i.e., in small tubes provided for this purpose and a 1L transparent plastic bag, this changes if they wish to place them in checked baggage.
Singapore Airlines may allow you to carry up to 5 liters of liquid products in your checked baggage, even though they are not on the list of prohibited items, such as flammable objects or liquids.
Items prohibited in checked baggage
These are items you cannot bring on board the plane. These are items that are dangerous or potentially dangerous, such as flammable and toxic items, weapons, etc.
Note: All passengers traveling on Singapore Airlines are affected by this regulation, including on domestic flights.
Using self-service baggage drop at Changi airport
Singapore Airlines offers its passengers the option of using the self-service baggage drop service, accessible in Terminal 1 at Changi Airport.
The self-service baggage drop system allows travelers to check in and drop off their baggage at a single machine, independently and without assistance.
Passengers can check in their baggage at the self-service baggage drop counters, using their boarding pass or booking code, after presenting their ID or passport. They will then validate the weight of their baggage using the system’s integrated scale, then print and affix the label to the bag. Once checked in is confirmed, the baggage will be transferred to the automated baggage handling system.
Deadline: When does baggage check-in close on Singapore Airlines?
