Weight concept or piece concept?
Singapore Airlines mixes the weight concept and the piece concept depending on route and class: on most routes your allowance is a total weight, while on some long-haul routes it is counted in pieces. The table below shows what the official policy states for each fare.
In plain terms
Reading the table from the cheapest fare up: with Economy Lite (weight concept, non-US) you can check 25kg total; with Economy Value (weight concept, non-US) you can check 25kg total; with Economy Standard (weight concept, non-US) you can check 30kg total; with Economy Flexi (weight concept, non-US) you can check 30kg total; with Premium Economy (weight concept, non-US) you can check 35kg total. Anything beyond the line for your own fare is charged under the excess rules, so the fare you booked — not the one you nearly booked — is the one that decides what you pay at the desk.
