Singapore Airlines Baggage Allowance

You have to tell us the route of travel and cabin class, so that we can give you answer for excess baggage. If you want to check the rates, the same are provided in the content above. 

You can take more than one bag totalling 30 kg together. Keep the size within given limits. 

Since yours is a non-US route, weight based system of baggage allowance applies and, therefore, the charges for excess baggage are expressed in per kg terms.

If you buy at airport, the charges are USD 50 per excess kg.

However, if you buy online, and before 48 hrs of scheduled departure time of flight, the charges are USD38 per kg. 

But, if you buy online and in time period from 48 hrs to 6 hrs before scheduled departure time of flight, the charges are USD 45 per kg.

So, it is good to buy online on website of the airline before 48 hrs from scheduled departure time of flight since the charges are lowest at this time.

Singapore has 4 economy class fares. Economy Lite and Value fares allow 25 kg per passenger in Check-in baggage. Economy Standard and Flexi fares are allowed 30 kg per passenger.

30 kg includes total weight including that of the bag also.

If you combine the baggage allowances of check in luggage, which is allowed by airlines for people traveling on same pnr, the weight of any single check in baggage will increase beyond 32kg which is not allowed. So, in effect, this clubbing will not be possible due to max weight restrictions for a check in bag.
