Changes to additional articles allowed on board



We would like to inform customers that there will be changes to our carry-on baggage allowance, with effect from 15 April 2015.

The changes are extracted from Article 13 of our Conditions of Contract and highlighted below in bold.

Cabin Baggage Allowance

Your cabin baggage may be weighed and measured and, if necessary, charged for in accordance with valid tariffs. All airline members of the International Air Transport Association (�IATA�) have agreed to observe the following baggage regulations. You may carry on board ONE of the articles listed below free of charge over and above your free baggage allowance, subject to the country�s local requirements:

Ladies' handbag*
Laptop in bag*
Document bag*
Camera / Camera bag*
Overcoat
Umbrella
A walking stick, a pair of crutches and/or other prosthetic devices for the passenger�s use provided the passenger is dependent on them
Small amount of duty free goods (where permitted)
Infant food and amenities if the infant is travelling. The total weight of these items should not exceed 6kg.



* The maximum dimensions for these bags are 40x30x10cm each. If the item exceeds the total dimension of 80cm (sum of length, width and height), it will be counted as part of your standard cabin baggage allowance. In this event, you will be required to check in either your cabin bag or the additional item.



All other cabin baggage are subject to the following conditions:

Quantity: 1 piece *
Dimension: Length + Breadth + Height (including protrusions) must not exceed 115 cm (45 inches) in total subject to fit within the aircraft stowage spaces.
Weight: Up to 7 kg

*First and Business Class customers may be allowed two pieces of cabin baggage, subject to the country�s local requirements, aircraft cabin space and stowage space availability.

Sorry, I've just come back to this thread. My original (and first ever ) post was very poor. I omitted to mention the very pertinent detail that this was at T2 on a Sunday afternoon. I, much like everyone else here, have never had any issues at Changi and especially not at T3. Apologies again for such a daft omission and I also totally understand why it was perceived as trolling.

I was just shocked to see it and given that I fly out of Changi a lot I instantly thought to sign up and post it here in the hope that it may help some people. Quite funny that it was this observation that made me sign up.

Also I spoke to some SQ staff regarding the above notice and they said the only change is that they are now defining the size of the additional item, that's all.

Does anyone ever had a pro photo gear obviously excessing the 7 kg limit carried as cabin bag on SQ flight? Any check in issues?
Any experience / suggestions welcome.
Thanks! [FONT="Times New Roman"][/FONT]

Depends what you mean by 'obviously.' If your bag looks close to the cabin size limits (but is >>>>> 7kg), my experience with SQ is that you're unlikely to run into any issues. If you mean that the bag is huge and suitcase-sized ...

I recently travelled long haul with a lot of photo gear (3 lenses, DLSR and Mirrorless) as well as a 15" Macbook. They were ok and had no issues coming aboard

Old thread. Does SQ enforce their 7kg limit on carry ons for pax in PEY? ex-SFO if it matters.

Flew ewr-sin-kul and sgn-sin-ewr last month.

They did not check my carryon for any segment whether in premium economy or economy.

When verifying docs at the gate this weekend for SEA-SIN, GA said my wife and I both had to check our carryon as we each had a backpack as well. Appeared random as then she said my wife could take hers as a courtesy but one of ours had to be checked. Said it to a few others but the majority of everyone in economy had both.

sure takes time to pickup but that�s life. However, bag was damaged and likely not repairable. Was offered equivalent of $18 (USD) as a goodwill offer. I declined it and they said can try to get repaired, present bill and they�ll pay. Let�s see�.

Was the flight full?

Backpack small enough to fit under the seat in front?

Yeah, that's the question here - was it just a daypack or did it exceed personal item sizing? If it did not qualify as a personal item, GA was correct to require gate check.

Yeh backpack for underneath the seat. In looking at their allowance official policy, I could see why she was saying it but was completely random it appeared on who she made check a bag and who she didn�t.

end result though was my bag got broken and there was plenty of room for it onboard

The allowance is one carry-on plus a personal item. A daypack that will fit under the seat is a personal item.

For clarity, provided that it is under 80cm (31") in total dimensions. This is actually smaller than Spirit, Ryanair or EasyJet personal item dimensions ,that not that I've ever seen it rigidly enforced on SQ.

This just underscores the absurdity of enforcing those punitive carryon limits.

I just completed a r/t on Zipair where they also have a 7kg limit on carryons. My laptop bag (small laptop, power brick, phone, chargers for electronics) was 6.8 kg. I'd expect it on Zipair, just never thought it would be a thing on SQ.
