For flights between Chennai and Hangzhou, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg in weight.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage allowance applicable to your trip 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 from Chennai to Hangzhou once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. 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 service is suitable for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On this route, Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch with up to 19-inch seat width, providing comfortable legroom for the journey. In Business Class, you can enjoy a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access, designed to help you rest and work with ease on both sectors of the trip.

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 passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

Singapore Changi Airport offers extensive facilities that make layovers comfortable and engaging. With sufficient time, you can join a free official transit tour into the city; these tours typically require a layover of at least about 5.5 to 6 hours. They give you a brief introduction to Singapore’s highlights before returning you to the airport.

For shorter layovers, staying airside is very relaxing, with themed gardens, rest zones, and quiet seating areas throughout the terminals. You can also explore art installations, children’s play areas, and a wide range of dining and shopping options without leaving the secure area.

If you have a longer connection and prefer to rest, airport hotels and pay-per-use lounges offer showers and comfortable spaces to refresh between flights. 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. Hangzhou follows China Standard Time (CST), which is UTC+8:00 and also does not change seasonally. Hangzhou is therefore 2.5 hours ahead of Chennai throughout the year.

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