Singapore Airlines bassinet: what the airline says
Guide to Singapore Airlines bassinets for families. See rules on bassinet size, weight limits (14kg), and availability, which is first-come, first-served.
Singapore Airlines provides bassinets for infants in Premium Economy and Economy Class, but availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. The airline specifies exact dimensions and a weight limit of 14kg, so it’s important to check if your baby will fit before you fly. Because you cannot be certain you will get one, it is best to request it as early as possible.
Airline policies can be updated, so we always suggest you confirm these details directly with Singapore Airlines when you make your booking to have the most current information for your travel.
