In-flight Dining
On the Male to Singapore and Singapore to Hangzhou sectors, we serve complimentary meals in all cabins, designed to reflect regional flavours and international favourites. You can look forward to a complete meal service appropriate to the time of day.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals to meet different dietary needs, which you can request in advance through our website or your booking agent. Please place your request at least 48 hours before departure so we can prepare it for your flight.

Book the Cook
Eligible Business Class customers on the Male to Singapore and Singapore to Hangzhou sectors can pre-select main courses from our Book the Cook service on selected flights. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you board.

Beverage Service
Throughout the journey, you can enjoy a selection of hot and cold beverages, including juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Our signature Singapore Sling is also available on board, so you can savour a classic drink as you travel.

For flights between Male and Hangzhou, our weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. Premium Economy Class on the Male to Singapore sector includes 35kg of checked baggage. Business Class includes 40kg of checked baggage on all sectors. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. For cabin baggage, Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class customers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your journey 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 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. Paid plans are available for non-members. The service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Male to Singapore and Singapore to Hangzhou Airbus A350-900 sectors, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. Premium Economy Class, available on the Male to Singapore sector, offers a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for added space and comfort. Business Class on all sectors features a fully flat bed with direct aisle access from every seat, giving you ample room to rest and sleep.

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 use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport.

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.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. For longer connections of at least around 5.5 to 6 hours, you can consider joining an official transit tour of the city, subject to operating hours and eligibility. This allows you to see key sights before returning to the airport in time for your next flight. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy lush indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, children’s play zones, and, in selected terminals, features such as a swimming pool or cinema. There are also many dining options and retail outlets if you prefer to browse or enjoy a relaxed meal. 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) throughout the year and does not observe daylight saving time. Hangzhou follows China Standard Time (UTC+8), also without daylight saving. This means Hangzhou is 3 hours ahead of Male at all times of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International 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–Hangzhou) 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 Hangzhou 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–Hangzhou 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.
