For Chengdu to Chennai flights, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class guests may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Business Class guests may check 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class guests may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class guests may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class members should add their KrisFlyer number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

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.

With a layover at Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy extensive airside facilities, including indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options. For longer layovers, you may join a transit city tour if your connection time meets the programme’s minimum requirements. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), eligible Singapore Airlines passengers may use the TFU International First Class and Business Class Lounge before departure. Access is typically based on your cabin class or frequent flyer status; please check your booking or with our staff at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may have access to facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin class and KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status. Lounge access is determined by your onward flight from Singapore and your eligibility at the time of travel.

Chengdu operates on China Standard Time (UTC+8) all year, without daylight saving. Chennai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving. Chennai is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes behind Chengdu throughout the year.

Visa and entry requirements for travel from Chengdu to Chennai depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend checking with the relevant Indian embassy or consulate, as well as your local authorities, before you travel. Always confirm requirements close to your departure date.

For Chengdu to Chennai flights via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport at least 3 hours before departure. This allows time for check-in, security screening, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

When connecting in Singapore, you usually remain in the transit area and follow signs to your next departure gate. Check the monitors for your gate and boarding time, and use the airport’s wayfinding screens if you change terminals. Our ground staff can guide you if you have questions or a tighter connection.

On arrival in Chennai, you will go through immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass customs. Make sure your travel documents and arrival information are ready. After customs, you will find signs to ground transport, including taxis, app-based rides, and other city connections.
