Free Wi-Fi and Membership Perks
Singapore Airlines offers complimentary Wi-Fi to all passengers, but there’s a catch for those in Premium Economy and Economy. To enjoy unlimited Wi-Fi, you must add your PPS or KrisFlyer membership number to your itinerary at the time of booking, check-in, or even at the boarding gate. If you miss this step, you’ll need to opt for one of the paid plans:
- 1-hour: US$3.99
- 3-hours: US$8.99
- Full Flight: US$15.99
For Suites, First, and Business Class passengers, unlimited Wi-Fi is a standard perk.
Multi-Device Connectivity
The days of choosing between your phone, tablet, or laptop are over. Now, you can connect up to three devices at once. This feature is currently limited to aircraft fitted with Panasonic systems.
Global Coverage with Exceptions
Singapore Airlines Wi-Fi coverage is nearly global. SITAOnAir systems lack coverage over India, Iran, and Turkey, while Panasonic systems offer global coverage. However, both systems are unavailable over polar regions, affecting specific flights.

Your aircraft type determines the Wi-Fi system onboard—either SITAOnAir or Panasonic. Here’s a quick guide:
