We offer a wide selection of special meals that can be requested in advance, helping you align your in-flight dining with your dietary needs or preferences. These should be pre-ordered before your departure date.

On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you may be able to pre-order main courses from an expanded menu through our Book the Cook service, giving you more choice and control over what you enjoy on board.

For flights between Male and Seoul, the weight concept applies. For checked baggage, Economy Class customers may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class customers enjoy 35kg on the Male–Singapore sector, and Business Class customers have 40kg throughout the journey. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights from Male to Seoul once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members. The connection is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but 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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers an official free transit tour for travellers with a sufficiently long layover, typically requiring at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This lets you briefly discover the city before returning for your onward journey.

For shorter transits, you can stay airside and enjoy garden spaces, comfortable seating zones, rest areas, and a wide variety of dining and shopping options. Some terminals also feature play areas and entertainment zones where you can relax between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Male Velana International Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be invited to use the Koveli Lounge before departure, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access policies follow our usual guidelines for premium cabins and qualifying KrisFlyer and Star Alliance members.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible Singapore Airlines 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. Access is determined by your onward boarding pass from Singapore.

Male follows Maldives Time (UTC+5) and does not observe daylight saving time. Seoul follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round, also without daylight saving time. This means Seoul is 4 hours ahead of Male throughout the year, so when it is 10.00am in Male, it is 2.00pm in Seoul.

We recommend arriving at Male Velana International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Seoul, as you will first check in for your flight to Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods or holidays.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in South Korea, as well as any transit rules for Singapore. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant embassies, consulates, or official government websites before you travel.

In most cases, when you travel on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary from Male to Seoul via Singapore, we will check your baggage through to Seoul. You should still confirm this at check-in in Male, and keep your baggage tags until you have collected your bags at your final destination.
