Premium Economy Class passengers have 35kg, and Business Class passengers have 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Chennai to Amsterdam once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, although Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers 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 it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Chennai–Singapore sector, our Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 787-10 aircraft offer Economy Class seats with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, and Business Class seats that convert into fully flat beds with direct aisle access.

On the Singapore–Amsterdam sector, our Airbus A350-900 offers Economy Class with a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, Premium Economy Class with a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width, and Business Class with fully flat beds and direct aisle access at every seat.

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 Chennai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore (SIN), eligible customers can relax in the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight.

Singapore Changi Airport offers a wide range of facilities that make layovers comfortable, including indoor gardens, rest areas, and family-friendly play zones. If you have a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining one of the airport's free city transit tours, subject to availability and timing.

For shorter connections, you can stay airside and enjoy features such as themed gardens, quiet zones, and entertainment areas to relax between flights. Airport hotels and snooze areas are also available if you prefer to rest.

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

Chennai follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Amsterdam follows Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1 in roughly November to March, and Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2 in roughly late March to late October. This means Amsterdam is 3.5 hours behind Chennai during CET, and 3.5 or 4.5 hours behind depending on the season; around late March to late October, when CEST is in effect, Amsterdam is 3.5 hours behind Chennai, and in the CET months it is 4.5 hours behind.

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