Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that cater to various dietary requirements. You can request these in advance through our website or your booking agent, ensuring that your preferred option is loaded for your flights.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in participating cabins can pre-select main courses from an extended menu before departure using our Book the Cook service. This lets you secure a preferred dish and enjoy a more personalised dining experience on board.

A selection of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees, is served throughout the flight. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, giving you a distinctive taste of Singapore during your journey.

For flights between Chennai and Osaka, our baggage policy follows the weight concept. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. Your exact baggage 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 from Chennai to Osaka once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership 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.

On both the Chennai to Singapore and Singapore to Osaka sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, giving you space to sit back and relax. Business Class features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access, allowing you to rest more comfortably during your journey.

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. Eligible customers may be invited to lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers plenty to do during your layover, from themed gardens and art installations to quiet rest areas and family zones within the terminals. With a longer connection, you can explore attractions such as indoor greenery, walking trails, and viewing decks without leaving the airport.

If your layover is sufficiently long, you may also consider joining an official transit tour of Singapore, which usually requires a minimum connecting time of around 5.5 to 6 hours. These tours let you see a snapshot of the city before returning for your onward flight.

For shorter stays, you can relax at airport hotels, enjoy a meal, or freshen up with shower facilities available in selected areas. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Chennai follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 and does not observe daylight saving time. Osaka follows Japan Standard Time (JST), which is UTC+9:00 and also does not use daylight saving time. This means Osaka is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Chennai throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Osaka 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–Osaka) 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 Osaka 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–Osaka 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.
