We offer a range of special meals to meet different dietary needs. You can request these when you book, or manage your booking online, and we will confirm availability for your flight.

For flights between Busan and Chennai, the weight concept applies. Checked baggage: Economy Class guests may check 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. Business Class guests may check up to 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

Cabin baggage: Economy Class guests may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class guests may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance for your trip will be shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members, and Economy Class and Premium Economy Class members 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.

On both the Busan–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class seats offer around 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width for comfortable legroom and personal space.

Business Class on these sectors provides a fully flat bed with generous space and direct aisle access from each seat, allowing you to rest or work in comfort throughout your journey.

On the Busan to Chennai route via Singapore, Singapore Airlines offers Business Class and Economy Class on Boeing 737-8 MAX services for both sectors, so you can choose between a spacious premium experience and a comfortable, well-equipped Economy cabin.

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.

At Singapore Changi Airport, you can enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, art displays, and a wide range of dining and shopping. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you may consider joining an official transit tour into the city, subject to eligibility and operating hours. Shorter layovers are well spent exploring the terminals, relaxing in nap zones, or freshening up in shower facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Busan’s Gimhae International Airport (PUS), eligible Singapore Airlines customers may be able to use partner facilities such as the Air Busan Lounge, depending on their cabin class or frequent flyer status. Lounge access rules vary, so please check your booking or with our staff at check-in.

During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers travelling in premium cabins or holding qualifying KrisFlyer or Star Alliance status may access lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge. Access is determined by your onward flight and eligibility at the time of travel.

Busan follows Korea Standard Time (UTC+9) all year, with no daylight saving. Chennai follows India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), also without daylight saving. Chennai is therefore 3 hours 30 minutes behind Busan throughout the year, regardless of the month you travel.

From Busan, you will depart from Gimhae International Airport (PUS). You will connect at Singapore Changi Airport before arriving at Chennai International Airport (MAA), which serves the city of Chennai and the wider Tamil Nadu region.

We recommend arriving at Gimhae International Airport at least 2.5 to 3 hours before your scheduled departure to Singapore. This gives you enough time for check-in, security, and immigration, especially if you are checking baggage or travelling during busier periods.

Visa and entry requirements for India depend on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant embassy or consulate, and ensuring your passport, visa, and any required documents are in order before you travel.

On arrival at Chennai International Airport, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and go through customs. After exiting, you will find airport transport options such as taxis, app-based services, and public transport. It is best to confirm current transport details locally or with your accommodation.

If your flights from Busan to Singapore and onwards to Chennai are on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will usually check your baggage through to Chennai. You should confirm this at check-in in Busan and ensure your baggage tags show Chennai (MAA) as the final destination.
