Flights from Osaka (KIX) to Medan (KNO)

In-flight Dining
On Osaka to Medan journeys via Singapore, you will be served meals appropriate to the time of day on both the longer Osaka–Singapore sector and the shorter Singapore–Medan flight, with menus inspired by regional and international flavours.

Special Meals
We offer a range of special meals on this route, which must be requested before departure. Options cater to various dietary preferences and health requirements, and our crew will do their best to accommodate your needs when your special meal is confirmed.

Book the Cook
Eligible passengers in premium cabins on selected sectors through Singapore can pre-order a main course from our Book the Cook service. This lets you choose from an expanded menu designed to be enjoyed at cruising altitude.

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

For flights between Osaka and Medan, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, the checked baggage allowance is 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, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final baggage 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 on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Business Class customers should 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, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Osaka–Singapore and Singapore–Medan sectors, Economy Class offers a seat pitch of about 32 inches and up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable legroom for regional and medium-haul flying. Business Class features a fully flat bed on these services, with direct aisle access depending on the specific aircraft configuration.

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 Osaka but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only.

At Singapore Changi Airport, eligible passengers may be invited to use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), or KrisFlyer Gold Lounge before their onward flight.

Singapore Changi Airport is well suited to enjoyable layovers, with indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, and extensive dining and shopping. If you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights, you can consider joining one of the official free city tours that depart from the transit area.

For shorter connections, staying airside lets you make the most of facilities such as relaxation zones, shower services, and themed terminals with art and play areas. Clear signage and frequent skytrain connections make moving between terminals simple.

Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Medan airport when flying from Osaka 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 (Osaka–Singapore and Singapore–Medan) 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 Medan 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 Osaka–Medan 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.

Osaka follows Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and does not observe daylight saving time. Medan uses Western Indonesia Time (UTC+7), also without daylight saving time. Medan is therefore 2 hours behind Osaka throughout the year; when it is 12.00pm in Osaka, it is 10.00am in Medan.
