On the Boeing 737-8 MAX between Medan and Singapore, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, while Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access.

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.

If you have a longer layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join the official Free Singapore Tour, which typically requires at least a 5.5-hour transit, allowing you to see highlights of the city between your flights. For shorter connections, stay airside and enjoy the airport’s themed gardens, viewing decks, rest areas, and family zones.

You can also take advantage of shower facilities, quiet corners, and a wide range of dining and shopping outlets spread across the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Before your first sector from Medan, eligible customers may be able to access the Saphire Mandai International Lounge at Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), depending on cabin class or frequent flyer status. You can also consider pay-per-use lounges, subject to availability and local access conditions.

During your layover in Singapore on the way to or from Johannesburg, eligible passengers may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge entitlements are determined by your onward boarding pass from Singapore.

Medan follows Asia/Jakarta time, which is UTC+7 all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Johannesburg follows Africa/Johannesburg time, which is UTC+2 and also does not change seasonally. This means Johannesburg is 5 hours behind Medan throughout the year.

For this itinerary, we recommend arriving at Kualanamu International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This allows time for check-in, baggage drop, security, and immigration, especially as you are connecting to a long-haul flight in Singapore.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, and length of stay. As regulations can change, we recommend that you check with the relevant South African authorities or your nearest consulate, and review current information before your departure.

If both your Medan–Singapore and Singapore–Johannesburg flights are on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we will normally check your baggage through to Johannesburg. Your baggage tag and boarding passes issued at check-in will confirm this, so please review them carefully at the airport.

When you connect in Singapore Changi Airport, you generally stay in the transit area and follow the signs to your next departure gate. Our ground staff and information screens will guide you, and if your connection is tight, airport teams will assist to help you reach your onward flight efficiently.
