Most flights from Chennai to Myanmar connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can consider joining a free transit tour of the city, relax in one of the gardens, visit the indoor waterfall, or enjoy spa services and swimming facilities in selected terminals. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals retail and dining options, or resting in quiet zones and transit hotels. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yangon operates on Myanmar Time (UTC+6:30). Chennai is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Yangon is typically 1 hour ahead of Chennai throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Myanmar when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Myanmar, 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.
