When you travel from Chennai to Medan on a single Singapore Airlines booking, we will usually check your baggage through to Medan at Chennai, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes will confirm this during check-in at Chennai.

Chennai follows India Standard Time (IST), which is UTC+5:30 all year round. Medan follows Western Indonesia Time, which is UTC+7:00 with no daylight saving. This means Medan is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Chennai throughout the year.
