Recent Traveller Feedback
SQ is quite strict about checked bag weight — they might let 1 kg slide but 2 kg over is pushing it, especially at the self-service kiosks that auto-weigh your bag. They'll usually suggest moving the excess to your hand carry. For carry-on, if it doesn't look obviously overweight nobody weighs it at the gate. I've seen 12 kg bags get through, but the official limit is 7 kg for the main bag plus a small personal item.
Checked baggage has no liquid limit on SQ — I've brought full-size shampoo, body wash, mouthwash, and bottled drinks in my checked bag for years with zero issues. The 100 ml per container / 1-liter clear bag rule only applies to cabin baggage. Your entire checked bag can be filled with liquids and they won't care.
Policies may vary by specific route or airport. Always check your booking confirmation or the official Singapore Airlines website for the most up-to-date information before your trip.
