Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that cater to various dietary needs and preferences. You can request these in advance through Manage Booking so we can prepare them for your specific flights.

Book the Cook
On eligible sectors and in selected cabins, you can pre-order from our Book the Cook menu, choosing from a wider range of main courses before you fly. This helps you personalise your dining experience on board.

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 Premium Economy Class members should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans.

Our Wi-Fi service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any high-bandwidth activities for before or after your flight.

On the Medan to Singapore sector operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width, while Business Class provides a fully flat bed with direct aisle access for added comfort.

On the Singapore to Male sector operated by the Airbus A350-900, Economy Class offers around 32 inches of pitch with up to 19 inches of width, Premium Economy Class provides about 38 inches of pitch with up to 20 inches of width, and Business Class offers fully flat beds with 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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive amenities, from themed gardens and quiet rest zones to family play areas and a wide range of dining and shopping. If you have a longer layover, you can consider joining one of the official transit tours into the city, which typically require several hours between flights.

Shorter layovers can be comfortably spent airside, where you will find relaxation areas, showers, and plenty of places to stretch your legs before continuing to Male. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Kualanamu International Airport in Medan, eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to access the Saphire Mandai International Lounge before their flight to Singapore. Lounge access depends on your cabin class, frequent flyer status, or lounge entitlement associated with your ticket.

During your layover at Singapore (SIN), eligible passengers departing on Singapore Airlines may have access to the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access depends on your class of travel and your KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status.

Medan follows the Asia/Jakarta time zone (UTC+7) and does not observe daylight saving time. Male follows the Indian/Maldives time zone (UTC+5), also without daylight saving time. This means Male is 2 hours behind Medan throughout the year, so you will need to set your watch back when you arrive.

We recommend arriving at Kualanamu International Airport at least 2 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore, especially if you need to check in baggage or travel as a family. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, and reaching your gate before boarding to connect onwards to Male.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry regulations with the Maldives immigration authorities or your local embassy, and ensuring your passport has sufficient validity before you travel.

Male has a warm, tropical climate year-round, so lightweight clothing, sun protection, and swimwear are useful. Consider bringing comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and nearby islands, along with any personal medications and travel documents in your cabin baggage. Check your baggage allowance before packing.

Many resorts arrange speedboat or seaplane transfers from Velana International Airport near Male. We recommend confirming your transfer details and operating hours with your resort in advance, and sharing your Singapore Airlines flight details so they can coordinate your pick-up time.
