The Iconic Singapore Girl & SIA’s Exceptional Service

The Singapore Girl is the elegant face of Singapore Airlines, symbolising Asian hospitality, warmth, and professionalism. Dressed in the signature Sarong Kebaya designed by Pierre Balmain, she reflects the airline’s commitment to graceful, personalised service.

Cabin crew undergo 15+ weeks of elite training focused on safety, etiquette, and customer care, setting a global standard for inflight service. More than a uniform, the Singapore Girl is a cultural icon and a key reason why SIA is known for having the world’s best cabin crew.

Her presence assures passengers of a travel experience that is refined, human, and uniquely Singaporean.

• Infant Baggage: Infants receive a 10kg checked baggage allowance. However, they are not eligible for any additional baggage benefits through PPS Club or KrisFlyer memberships. When traveling with an infant, you can also check in one item from each specified category (the categories themselves are not detailed in this text).

• Singapore Airlines Policy Applies: Singapore Airlines' baggage policy will apply to your entire itinerary if your first flight originates on Singapore Airlines from LAX, SFO, IAH, JFK, or on a US Airways flight with an SQ flight number.

• First Carrier Policy Applies (US DOT Rules): If your first flight originates from any other US city, or the first flight does not have an SQ flight number (for travel originating in the US or destined for a US city), the first carrier's baggage policy may apply to the whole itinerary (as per US Department of Transportation rules and if on a single or conjunction ticket).

• Purchasing Additional Allowance: If another airline's baggage policy applies to your booking, any additional baggage allowance must be purchased directly from that airline. You should refer to their respective websites for specific rules.

Delayed or damaged baggage

If your last flight was with Singapore Airlines and your baggage is delayed, follow these steps to file a report:

1. Lodge a report: You can do this either online or at the Lost & Found Office at the arrival airport. Make sure you get a copy of the report for your records.
2. Receive a reference number: You'll get a 10-character File Reference Number. Keep this handy for all future communication about your case.
3. Get status updates: Singapore Airlines will send you email updates for up to seven days, or you can check the status yourself on their baggage portal.

If, after seven days, your baggage is still missing, you can contact the local Lost & Found Office for a baggage claim form to file a claim, or make a claim through your travel insurance. If your last flight wasn't with Singapore Airlines, you'll need to report your delayed baggage directly with that operating airline.

If your checked baggage arrived damaged, immediately make a report at the airport.

Size Limitation:
Odd-sized baggage must not exceed the following dimensions:
