Which Singapore Airlines flights have WiFi?
Nearly all Singapore Airlines flights are equipped with in-flight WiFi, and the following types of Singapore Airlines jets are equipped with satellite internet technology:
- Airbus A350
- Airbus A380
- Boeing 737-8 MAX
- Boeing 777-300ER
- Boeing 787-10
‘largelyThe caveat here is “,” with the exception being the older Boeing 737-800 models commonly seen on regional flights within Asia.
The 737-800, formerly operated by Singapore Airlines’ regional airline SilkAir, is equipped with an in-flight WiFi hotspot-style system for streaming movies and other entertainment to passengers’ smartphones and tablets, but has no outside internet connectivity.
Singapore Airlines’ in-flight internet access is available from shortly after takeoff, when the aircraft reaches cruising altitude, until the aircraft is ready to begin its descent.
Singapore Airlines Free WiFi
Singapore Airlines offers free WiFi packages to all passengers depending on their class of travel and their membership in Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer loyalty program.
- Singapore Airlines offers free unlimited WiFi to First and Business Class passengers
- Singapore Airlines PPS Club members Any The cabin also offers free unlimited WiFi.
- Singapore Airlines Premium Economy and Economy KrisFlyer members also enjoy unlimited complimentary WiFi.
The takeaway here is that Singapore Airlines first and business class passengers can enjoy free WiFi as they fly in the premium cabin, but everyone else needs to quote their SQ frequent flyer number (either a PPS or KrisFlyer account) when booking.
You can enter these details when booking your flight using the ‘Manage my booking’ option (online or in the Singapore Airlines app), or at the check-in desks and kiosks at the airport, but you cannot add details once your flight has begun.
Singapore Airlines Paid WiFi Plans
If you’re flying in Premium Economy or Economy Class but don’t have a KrisFlyer membership number on your booking (perhaps because you’re not a KrisFlyer member or you collect your points through a partner airline such as Virgin Australia or a Star Alliance member), you’ll need to purchase a WiFi plan.
Singapore Airlines offers three paid WiFi plans:

Please note that the 1-hour and 3-hour plans cannot be paused, so there will be a countdown of clicks once you click the “Connect” button.

Zoom-type calls are not possible and streaming video is blocked, no doubt to maximise available bandwidth so it can be shared among all passengers.
Also, if work that needs to be done is unavoidable, I would recommend doing any important work like research, data gathering and any reliable downloads in the airport lounge, and using Singapore Airlines’ in-flight internet mainly for any necessary follow-ups and sending emails as necessary.
