Special Meals
We offer a wide range of special meals to suit different dietary needs on this route. You can request these in advance through our website or your booking agent, so we can prepare your selection before you fly.

Book the Cook
Eligible customers in selected premium cabins on this route can pre-order a main course from our Book the Cook service, choosing from an expanded menu crafted by our culinary team. This allows you to personalise your dining experience before you board.

For flights between Chennai and Seoul, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for 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. Business Class passengers 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 from Chennai to Seoul 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 does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Chennai to Singapore and Singapore to Seoul sectors, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing a comfortable amount of personal space. Business Class features a fully flat bed with generous width and direct aisle access from every seat, giving you room to work, dine, and rest.

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 Chennai but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible customers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

If you have a longer connection at Singapore Changi Airport, you can join a free transit tour into the city, which typically requires a layover of at least 5.5 to 6 hours and advance registration, subject to availability. This is a convenient way to see highlights of Singapore between flights.

For shorter layovers, staying airside offers plenty of options, including themed gardens, quiet rest areas, play zones, and in-terminal attractions that help the time pass comfortably. You can also freshen up with shower facilities or relax in designated snooze zones.

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. Seoul uses Korea Standard Time (KST), which is UTC+9:00 and also does not change seasonally. Seoul is therefore 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Chennai throughout the year.

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