Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Darwin to Medan once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should ensure their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure.

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.

Eligible customers may relax in facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

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 Darwin but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

Singapore Changi Airport offers many ways to make your layover enjoyable, with themed gardens, quiet rest areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping. For longer connections, you can consider the airport's official free transit tour programmes, which typically require at least a 5.5-hour layover.

If you prefer to stay airside, explore facilities such as relaxation zones, entertainment areas, and, in some terminals, swimming pools and cinemas, as well as a range of cafés and restaurants. Showers and transit hotels are also available for added comfort.

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

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

Darwin operates on Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), which is UTC+9:30 and does not observe daylight saving. Medan follows Western Indonesia Time (WIB), which is UTC+7 and also does not observe daylight saving. This means Darwin is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Medan throughout the year.
