In-flight Dining
On the Male to Singapore and Singapore to Guangzhou sectors, you will be served meals tailored to the time of day and flight duration, with complimentary dining in all cabins.

Special Meals
We offer a variety of special meals to cater to different dietary requirements. These should be requested when you book or added to your booking at least 24 hours before departure.

Book the Cook
Eligible premium cabins on this route may be able to use our Book the Cook service, allowing you to pre-select main courses from a curated menu for selected sectors, subject to availability and departure airport.

Beverage Service
Throughout the flight, you can enjoy a range of hot and cold beverages. Our signature Singapore Sling is available on board, alongside juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a selection of alcoholic drinks.

For flights between Male and Guangzhou, our weight concept applies. Checked baggage allowances are: Economy Class 25kg on Lite and Value fares, and 30kg on Standard and Flexi fares; Premium Economy Class 35kg; Business Class 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg. Cabin baggage allowances are: Economy Class and Premium Economy Class one piece up to 7kg; Business Class two pieces, each up to 7kg. Your final allowance is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class and Premium Economy Class customers should add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members can purchase access plans. The service supports messaging, email, and basic browsing, but is not designed for video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On both the Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-10, Economy Class seats offer a 32-inch pitch and up to 19-inch seat width, giving you space to relax. Premium Economy Class, available on selected Male to Singapore services, provides a 38-inch pitch and up to 20-inch seat width for added comfort. Business Class on both sectors features seats that convert to a fully flat bed, with every seat offering direct aisle access.

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, eligible customers may use lounges such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

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

If your layover at Singapore Changi Airport is at least 5.5 hours, you can consider joining an official city tour, which lets you see highlights of Singapore without handling your own logistics. For shorter layovers, stay airside to enjoy indoor gardens, rest areas, and a wide choice of dining options across the terminals. You can also explore themed zones, quiet corners, and walking paths to stretch between flights. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Male follows Maldives Time, which is UTC+5 and does not observe daylight saving time. Guangzhou follows China Standard Time, which is UTC+8 and also does not use daylight saving time. Guangzhou is therefore 3 hours ahead of Male throughout the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport when flying from Male 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 (Male–Singapore and Singapore–Guangzhou) 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 Guangzhou 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 Male–Guangzhou 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.
