Flights from Hong Kong (HKG) to Chennai (MAA)

In-flight Dining
You will be served meals on both sectors of your journey, with menus that reflect regional flavours and international favourites, tailored to the time of day and route.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals for different dietary needs, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on selected sectors from Singapore offer Book the Cook, allowing you to choose from a curated menu of main courses before your flight, subject to availability and cut-off times.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold beverages is available throughout the flight, and our signature Singapore Sling is offered on board, alongside other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

For flights between Hong Kong and Chennai, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage: Economy Class passengers have 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers have 35kg, Business Class passengers have 40kg, and First Class passengers have 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class and First Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should ensure their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Hong Kong to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, and Premium Economy Class seats offer a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width where available. Business Class on this sector features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, and First Class offers a fully flat bed with enhanced space and privacy on selected services.

On the Singapore to Chennai sector, Economy Class seats provide a comfortable 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class seats convert into a fully flat bed, with every seat offering direct aisle access.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Hong Kong but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may be invited to The Private Room, the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), the SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and frequent flyer status.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy themed gardens, quiet rest zones, art installations, and a wide selection of dining and shopping options without leaving the terminal. For longer layovers of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, you may join an official transit tour of the city, subject to availability and entry requirements. Shorter layovers can be comfortably spent exploring terminals, relaxing in snooze areas, or freshening up at airport facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Hong Kong follows Hong Kong Time (HKT), which is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Chennai follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and also does not observe daylight saving time. Chennai is therefore 2.5 hours behind Hong Kong throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chennai Airport when flying from Hong Kong via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Hong Kong–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Chennai is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Hong Kong–Chennai trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
