Flights from Xiamen (XMN) to Adelaide (ADL)

In-flight Dining
On the Xiamen to Adelaide route, you will be served complimentary meals in both Business Class and Economy Class, tailored to the time of day and sector length. Each sector, between Xiamen and Singapore, then Singapore and Adelaide, includes at least one main meal service.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route to meet specific dietary needs or preferences. You should request your preferred special meal in advance through our website or your booking agent so that we can have it prepared for you.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in participating cabins, you may be able to pre-select your main course from a wider menu using our Book the Cook service. Simply log in to your booking before departure to see if Book the Cook is available for your flight and choose your meal.

Beverage Service
A selection of hot and cold drinks is available throughout your journey, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee, as well as alcoholic beverages in eligible cabins. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, adding a distinctive touch to your flight.

For flights between Xiamen and Adelaide, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers enjoy a checked baggage allowance of 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring one piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring two pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your specific ticket is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members have 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 members must 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Xiamen to Singapore and Singapore to Adelaide sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, helping you rest more easily on both sectors.

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 Xiamen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers may access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on their cabin and status.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities, from themed gardens and relaxation areas to family zones and quiet rest spaces, making it comfortable to stay airside during your layover. With enough time, you can explore different terminals to enjoy art installations, viewing decks, and indoor greenery.

For longer layovers, you may consider joining the airport’s official transit tour programme, which usually requires a minimum layover of about 5.5 to 6 hours. This lets you see highlights of Singapore before returning to the airport. Always check tour timings and eligibility in advance.

If you prefer to rest, airport hotels and nap facilities are available within the transit area, alongside showers and spa services in selected zones. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Xiamen follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving time. Adelaide operates on Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9.5) from roughly April to early October, and Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10.5) from early October to early April. Adelaide is therefore 1.5 hours ahead of Xiamen during its winter, and 2.5 hours ahead during its summer daylight saving period.

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