It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must 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. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, so we recommend planning any high-bandwidth activities for before or after your flight.

On both the Cebu–Singapore and Singapore–Chennai sectors operated by the Boeing 737-8 MAX, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey.

Business Class on the Boeing 737-8 MAX offers enhanced space, with seats that convert into a fully flat bed on longer flights and provide direct aisle access or easy aisle reach, giving you more room to rest and work.

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 themed gardens, art installations, quiet rest areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options. For longer layovers of at least 5.5 hours, you may consider joining one of the official free transit tours into the city, subject to eligibility and schedule.

Shorter transits are best spent exploring the airport’s attractions across its terminals, from relaxation zones to family-friendly spaces. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait - it is an integral part of your journey.

In Cebu, eligible customers may use the Plaza Premium Lounge before departure. During your layover at Singapore Changi Airport, eligible customers may access facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, depending on cabin, frequent flyer status, and operating terminal.

For most through tickets from Cebu to Chennai booked with Singapore Airlines, we will check your baggage through to Chennai, so you usually do not need to collect it in Singapore. Your baggage tags and boarding passes at Cebu will indicate whether your bags are interlined to your final destination.

Cebu follows Philippine Time, which is UTC+8 all year. Chennai follows India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 all year. Chennai is therefore 2 hours 30 minutes behind Cebu throughout the year, with no daylight saving adjustments in either city.

When you arrive in Chennai from Cebu via Singapore, you will clear immigration, collect your checked baggage, and pass through customs at Chennai International Airport. Signage is in English and local languages, and you will find information desks, transport options, and mobile connectivity services in the arrivals area.

We recommend arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time for flights to Chennai via Singapore. This allows enough time for check-in, security screening, and immigration formalities before you proceed to your boarding gate.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay in India. As policies can change, we recommend checking with the nearest Indian embassy or consulate, or consulting official government resources, before you travel from Cebu to Chennai.

Health and vaccination requirements may apply based on your recent travel history and personal circumstances. We advise checking official health advisories and consulting your healthcare provider before departure, and carrying any necessary documentation or medication in your cabin baggage for the journey.
