Singapore Airlines on Thursday raised its allowance limit for checked-in baggage effective November 15 on all its flights as well as those operated by SilkAir, its wholly-owned subsidiary.
The announcement comes at a time when many airlines are lowering baggage allowances and other perks for passengers or contemplating doing so.
Singapore Airlines said in a statement that checked-in baggage allowances will increase by 10 kg for all classes of travel. Customers will be entitled to free baggage allowances of 50 kg in suites and first class, 40 kg in business class and 30 kg in economy class, the airline said.
For flights to and from the United States, where a per-piece allowance applies, customers travelling in suites, first class and business class will be entitled to check in two pieces of luggage of up to 32 kg each, up from 23 kg previously.
KrisFlyer Elite Gold and Star Alliance Gold members will continue to enjoy an additional 20kg of baggage allowance across all travel classes, or one extra piece of checked-in baggage when travelling to or from the United States and Brazil.
PPS Club members will also continue to be entitled to double the checked-in baggage allowance in their respective class of travel.
