Eligible premium cabins on selected sectors may be able to use our Book the Cook service, allowing you to pre-select main courses from an extended menu before departure.

For Medan–Melbourne flights, the weight concept applies to checked baggage. Checked baggage: Economy Class passengers may check 25kg on Lite/Value fares and 30kg on Standard/Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class passengers may check 35kg, and Business Class passengers may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Cabin baggage: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece of cabin baggage up to 7kg. Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces of cabin baggage, each up to 7kg. The final allowance shown on your e-ticket is the one that applies to your journey, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. 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 Medan–Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with generous personal space. On the Singapore–Melbourne Airbus A350-900 sector, Economy Class has a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class offers a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may be able to access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and membership status.

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 suited to both short and longer layovers. For extended connections, you can consider joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours to allow enough time for immigration and the tour itself.

If you prefer to stay airside, you will find themed gardens, quiet rest zones, play areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping in the transit areas. Depending on the terminal, there are also facilities such as swimming pools, cinemas, and pay-per-use lounges where you can relax or freshen up.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Medan follows Asia/Jakarta time (UTC+7) year-round. Melbourne follows Australia/Melbourne time, which is typically UTC+10 from around October to early April (daylight saving time) and UTC+9:30 or UTC+10 the rest of the year depending on specific local rules. As a result, Melbourne is usually 3 to 4 hours ahead of Medan, depending on the month of your trip. We recommend checking a reliable time converter close to your departure date for exact differences.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Melbourne Airport when flying from Medan 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 (Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Melbourne) 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 Melbourne 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–Melbourne 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.
