Flights from Adelaide (ADL) to Chennai (MAA)

In-flight Dining
On Adelaide–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai sectors, you will be served complimentary meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration, with options designed to offer a balance of flavour and refreshment.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals to meet different dietary needs. You can request these in advance through our Manage Booking page so that we can prepare your preferred option for both sectors of your journey.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in premium cabins on selected sectors can pre-order from an extended menu using our Book the Cook service. This lets you personalise your main course before your flight, subject to availability on the specific aircraft and route.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold drinks, including juices, soft drinks, tea, and coffee. A range of alcoholic beverages is also available, and our signature Singapore Sling is served on board.

For flights between Adelaide and Chennai, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class customers may check 40kg. Each individual checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg. Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your journey will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members are entitled to additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free and unlimited Wi-Fi; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can choose from paid plans suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing. Our Wi-Fi does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Adelaide–Singapore Boeing 787-10 and the Singapore–Chennai Boeing 737-8 MAX sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey.

Business Class on both sectors features a fully flat bed on overnight rest-friendly designs or deeply reclining seats with generous pitch, and every seat has direct aisle access or easy aisle access depending on the aircraft configuration, giving you ample personal space.

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

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit city tour, subject to eligibility and operating times, to see highlights of Singapore before returning to the terminal for your next flight. This offers a refreshing change of scene between long sectors.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very comfortable, with themed gardens, quiet rest zones, art installations, and play areas to explore between gates. Selected terminals also offer swimming pools, cinemas, and nap spaces, making it easy to rest or be entertained.

Dining and shopping options are extensive, from quick snacks to sit-down meals, and from travel essentials to lifestyle brands. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Adelaide follows Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) and observes daylight saving, moving to Australian Central Daylight Time (UTC+10:30) roughly from October to early April. Chennai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and does not observe daylight saving. This means Chennai is 4 hours behind Adelaide in winter, and 5 hours behind during Adelaide’s summer daylight saving period.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chennai International Airport when flying from Adelaide 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 (Adelaide–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 Adelaide–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.
