Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals that can be requested in advance to suit various dietary needs. Please place your request through Manage Booking before your departure.

For flights between Male and Sydney, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are as follows: Economy Class passengers have 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Premium Economy Class passengers have 35kg; Business Class passengers have 40kg; First Class passengers have 50kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are 1 piece up to 7kg for Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, and 2 pieces each up to 7kg for Business Class and First Class. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines services on the Male to Sydney route 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. 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 the Male to Singapore sector, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, and Premium Economy Class seats, where available, offer a 38-inch pitch with up to 20-inch seat width. Business Class provides a fully flat bed on this sector. On the Singapore to Sydney sector operated by the Boeing 777-300ER, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class offer similar pitch and seat width, Business Class offers a fully flat bed with direct aisle access at every seat, and First Class also features a fully flat bed.

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.

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 Male but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining a free official transit tour into the city, available for passengers with a layover of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, subject to tour schedules and immigration requirements. For shorter layovers, you can enjoy themed gardens, rest areas, and family facilities within the terminals. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Male operates on Maldives Time (UTC+5) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Sydney uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) roughly from April to early October, and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. Sydney is therefore 5 hours ahead of Male during standard time and 6 hours ahead during daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Sydney Airport when flying from Male 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 (Male–Singapore and Singapore–Sydney) 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 Sydney 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 Male–Sydney 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.
