It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, including those travelling in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class who add their membership number at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase paid plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

Most journeys from Vietnam to Male connect via Singapore Changi Airport, which offers gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas for shorter transits. On longer layovers, you can explore additional terminals, enjoy a swim or a spa treatment, or join one of the airport’s transit experiences without leaving the airside area. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi all share the same time zone, Indochina Time (UTC+7). Male operates on Maldives Time (UTC+5). This means Male is 2 hours behind all three Vietnamese cities year-round, as neither Vietnam nor the Maldives observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Male when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Male, 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.
