Flights from Medan (KNO) to Chennai (MAA)

In-flight Dining
On the Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai sectors, you will be served meals or light meals appropriate to the time of day, with thoughtfully designed menus in both Economy Class and Business Class.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which must be requested before departure. You can make your selection during booking or by managing your booking online ahead of your trip.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class customers on selected sectors may be able to pre-select main courses from a wider Book the Cook menu. Check your specific flight details when booking to see which dishes are available.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, along with other beverages to complement your meal.

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

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

On the Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, balancing comfort and personal space. Business Class features seats that convert into a fully flat bed, with every seat providing direct aisle access for ease of movement.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. 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 Medan but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport is well known for making transit time enjoyable, with themed gardens, art installations, play areas, and quiet zones for rest. If you have at least 5.5–6 hours between flights, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and schedules. Shorter layovers are ideal for exploring the airport’s indoor waterfall, walking trails, or relaxing at a spa or transit hotel. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Medan follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Chennai follows the Asia/Calcutta time zone (UTC+5:30) and also does not change clocks during the year. Chennai is therefore 1 hour 30 minutes behind Medan throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chennai International Airport when flying from Medan via Singapore Changi Airport 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 (Medan–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 Medan–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.
